Магистр искусств в Прикладной Теологии

The master of arts in applied theology (MAAT) is a degree program for religious educators, pastoral ministers, and other outreach service personnel. The program is both focused and flexible and meets the needs of students who want to explore the major disciplines of theology to create a solid knowledge base for understanding the nature of church life and practice. Our program is not limited to members of the Roman Catholic tradition. Graduates include members of the Lutheran, Methodist, and Episcopal traditions as well.

Our graduates work as lay pastoral associates, directors of religious education, Catholic Charities or other social justice agencies, and other important ministries at the diocesan and parish levels. They are equally successful in completing advanced degrees and work in community service and nonprofit organizations that improve people's quality of life everywhere. They make a difference.

Elms College is a dynamic, Catholic, coeducational liberal arts institution whose mission is to educate students of all backgrounds that have distinguished themselves inside and outside the classroom.

We are devoted to providing our students with rigorous academic challenges based on developing a strong sense of what they can contribute to the world, their neighborhood, and one another. To embody these goals, we strive to create a supportive community that not only enables our students to thrive but one that they’ll take with them after they graduate.
