Theology Course Descriptions

Important note regarding when courses are offered:

Term notations of Summer, Pre-term, Fall, Interterm, Spring, or Post-term mean that the course is offered during that term every year. When a term notation is followed by odd or even, then the course is offered during that term only in odd or even years, respectively. For example, a course that meets Summer, Fall odd will meet every summer (e.g., 2011, 2012), but only during the fall semester of odd years (e.g., 2011, not 2012). A course that meets Summer even, Spring odd, will meet summer 2012, 2014, and spring 2013, 2015.

Courses that do not have a term notation are modules (e.g., DM and MM), offered in specific sequence (e.g., M.F.A. courses), or not offered on a set rotation (some electives). “DL” means distance learning.

The number of semester credit hours for a course is shown in parentheses following the title.
