A degree in theology from Newman prepares the graduate to teach religion in the Catholic school system in the Wichita diocese, but more broadly, enables and enriches the student through the consideration of contemporary issues in the light of both faith and reason.
Theology
Firmly rooted in and committed to the broad Catholic tradition, the Theology Department focuses on the intersection of faith and reason in its commitment to pursuing truth, wisdom, and understanding. Students are challenged to integrate faith with all areas of life through their study of the Word of God expressed in Scripture and Tradition, the life of the Church, spirituality and the requirements of Christian discipleship.
