The EUCLID Master of Theology program provides outstanding academic preparation to its students for further studies at the doctoral level or for ecclesiastical service. Its main purpose is to offer an engaging, academically and theologically sound graduate program to anyone interested in the Catholic Faith.
It is worth mentioning that our programs are taught from a Magisterial (official teachings of the Catholic Church) rather than from a controversial perspective.
EUCLID’s Master’s of Theology programs are supported by a world-class faculty group that is truly global in scope and dedicated to high-quality interaction with each student. For each program, 3 faculty members are featured below, and the full faculty roster is accessible via the top menu.
