Course Overview

Mission Statement

The mission of the Master of Theological Studies program is to provide a solid theological foundation. 

 Core Values 

  • Provide a superior education that is personally, intellectually, and spiritually challenging.
  • Educate students for creative leadership within the church.
  • Equip students to engage with contemporary issues with a rich understanding of Christian traditions.
  • View theological questions and pastoral practice with a Norbertine emphasis on the qualities of communio, radical hospitality and serving the needs of the local community.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to provide this foundation within the context of a transformative pastoral practice, which requires rigorous study and pastoral sensitivity.

The St. Norbert College Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) program, offered in De Pere, Wisconsin, and in Albuquerque, New Mexico, grounds students in the Christian tradition as a base from which to address the changing realities of congregations. Classes are offered evenings and Saturdays for maximum flexibility.

Through core courses, you’ll learn the history of Christian doctrine and will critically engage in theological reflection about the essential components of the faith. Through course selection, you’ll be able to tailor your education to your interests and needs.
