Description:

Explore one of the most vibrant and venerable faith traditions and its implications for the good of the world.

The Master of Catholic Thought (MCT) program at St. Jerome's University is a conjoint master's degree offered together with the University of Waterloo. The program responds to the need for “Theology for the World” for those of all faith denominations who provide leadership in areas such as health care, social services, and education in communities, churches, and beyond to be theologically informed regarding Roman Catholic life and thought. The program is also well aligned for those who distinctively wish to pursue a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Catholic tradition.
