Catholic Studies Graduate Program
The University of St. Thomas Catholic Studies Graduate Program is a transformative opportunity to engage with the Catholic faith intellectually while enriching your life, work and sense of purpose.
While most graduate programs focus on a particular academic discipline, our program incorporates multiple academic disciplines – theology, philosophy, history, literature, science and the arts – into every course. In Catholic studies, you will deepen your ability to see the unity of knowledge and develop a coherent vision of your whole life and work.
The program offers a range of course options: on-ground, online and educator-focused. All courses are taught by our nationally and internationally recognized, joyfully Catholic teacher-scholars.

The Catholic Studies Graduate Experience
Faithful Study. Purposeful Reflection. Work Transformed.
“There is a Catholic integration of the whole world. The whole world is sacramental. It’s about the whole person. It’s about engaging the mind and the body and the soul.”
Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth…so that by knowing and loving God, men and women can come to the fullness of truth about themselves.

“Faith and reason are wedded in every aspect of our lives, if we but pay attention.”
The Artful Priests
What happens when you put a hillbilly, a poet-comic, a thespian and a jazz musician on a diet of standard Catholic studies fare – Aquinas, Chesterton?
Jenny Kraska, ’05 JD/MA
Politics is not about power. It’s about charity.
