Pre-Theology - Christ the King Seminary

Pre-Theology from Christ the King Seminary is a Campus Associate Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Seminary's two-year Pre-Theology Program is designed for those students who, in applying for admission to the Program of Priestly Formation, lack sufficient credits in Philosophy and Religious Studies to qualify for immediate entrance into the Master of Divinity degree program. Seminarians in the Pre-Theology Program participate in the daily life of the Seminary while engaged in a special course of studies and spiritual formation. This program includes two components: religious studies and philosophy. The purpose of the religious studies component is to equip students with sufficient background to undertake subsequent courses in Sacred Scripture and systematic theology. Courses in philosophy are devoted to issues and topics that are most closely related to the curriculum of theological studies . Both components are intended to promote not only awareness and knowledge about ideas and developments in religious history and thought, but also personal skills in critical understanding and reasoning. The capacity to apply such skills is considered vital to profitable undertaking of courses in the Master of Divinity degree program. The curriculum, in compliance with directives established by the Program of Priestly Formation, provides a comprehensive and integrative survey of the foundational religious, historical, philosophical, and theological elements that have shaped the Roman Catholic tradition of faith, worship and practice, as well as theological reflection upon this heritage. The extent to which the pre-theologian participates in the Pre-Theology Program will be determined on an individual basis, according to the background of each candidate.
