Certificate in Catholic Studies

Canada

6

What will I learn?

The certificate in Catholic studies provides an interdisciplinary approach to the academic study of Catholicism from the beginnings of Christianity in the ancient world to the presence of Catholicism as the largest Christian community in the world today.

What you will learn

The certificate program in Catholic studies is interdisciplinary by design, allowing students the opportunity of meeting its requirements by means of courses in drama, English, history, interdisciplinary studies, philosophy, psychology, religious studies and sociology.

This interdisciplinary approach will equip students with not only the ability to examine current questions in the field of Catholic studies and discuss the issues that affect Catholicism and its varied traditions, but also with the broader critical thinking and communication skills that are integral to a liberal arts education.

Catholic studies is intended to provide students with an understanding of Catholicism and its history, artistic and literary culture, philosophical and theological thought, and role in contemporary society.

Careers

This certificate can be a benefit for any career path, including:

  • education
  • ministry
  • healthcare
  • law
  • social work

In particular, this certificate would be immensely valuable for anyone teaching or who wants to teach within Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools or other Catholic school districts. A certificate in Catholic studies can also support an interdisciplinary interest in graduate studies.
