Student stories
Catherine Mackey
Syracuse, NY
“The professors were second to none. They were professional, brilliant, compassionate, loving. By the end, they were my friends. I could reach out to them at any point. I ended up developing professional, educational, and personal relationships throughout this program.”
Mariann Gilbride
Cherry Hill, NJ
“I was told the Moral Theology would be the hardest, but most rewarding course. It was challenging and invigorating. It stretched me to understand what God is asking of us, morally.”
Career moves
Chaplains, spiritual care coordinators, and social workers need to be able to provide services in a broadly ecumenical and interfaith setting. They may provide counseling and guidance relative to marital, health, financial, or religious problems.
