PhD in Theology

Duquesne offers a Ph.D. in Theology that is rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition and that adopts a decidedly ecumenical and global orientation. Students in this program seek to better understand the Christian tradition by studying its biblical roots, historical development, and interaction with the religions and cultures of the world. As students participate in the rigorous study of systematic theology, moral theology, and biblical theology, they simultaneously engage a range of disciplines and perspectives that enrich their thinking, including history of religion, philosophy, anthropology, spirituality, sociology, and the physical sciences.
