At its core, theology engages key issues of meaning and purpose. It helps individuals and communities wrestle with the critical challenges of ethics and values. And this degree track equips students to continue the long history of theology and religion meeting culture at its most important questions. Students have used this track to pursue goals as wide ranging as interfaith care and counseling, preaching for liberation, religion and the arts, spiritual formation, and complex religious bonds. You can forge your own path, because this is a program with flexibility. You will do core studies in the Hebrew bible and New Testament, study world Christianity, and develop your own systematic theology. And you’ll take classes in Christian ethics and spiritual practices. From there the direction is yours, because religions are evolving. But the questions often repeat.

註: 由於這些聯合衛理公會課程僅為按立所必需,而非畢業必修,CST 將其視為碩士班學生的「自由選修課」,因此以 D- 的成績通過即可。然而,根據特定年議會按立事工委員會的要求,此成績可能仍不足以符合資格。 聯合衛理公會的學生應事先向所屬年會查詢,了解何種成績方能視為符合這些課程要求。.
