The following are prerequisites for entry into the Master of Arts program:
- A Bachelor of Arts degree or its equivalent from an institution accredited by a regional accrediting association.
- Suitable test scores from the Graduate Record Aptitude Examination
- An undergraduate background supported by undergraduate achievement, which would indicate the ability to engage successfully in graduate theological studies. It is most desirable that this background include courses in philosophy and some introductory undergraduate courses in Scripture and Catholic doctrine.
- For those pursuing a double degree program (both the Master of Divinity and the Master of Arts degrees), completion of at least one year in the Master of Divinity program while maintaining at least an accumulative “B” average.
