MASTER OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN GLOBAL SPIRITUALITY
This program invites students to explore and reflect on some of the ancient paths to spiritual growth and integrate these paths with contemporary experiences of the Sacred. The paths students will explore include those from the spiritual traditions of the East and the West. They will include sacred spiritualities such as the Goddess theme, Monastic, Native American, Latino, Ignatian, Celtic, African, Zen, Taoist, and mystic traditions of Judaism (Kabala), Christianity (Theresa of Avila and John of the Cross) and Islam (Sufism).
