Frequently Asked Questions
In the past, it has been necessary to have an undergraduate degree to enter this program. Now, there are two options. If you have an undergraduate degree when you enter, you can pursue a Bachelor’s in Theology from Newman University immediately by completing the degree plan and requirements to graduate.
However, if you have not completed an undergraduate degree already, there is an option to work with the Altum Institute and Newman University to develop a plan for you to take all non-theological courses through Newman University online or another college as transfer work, while taking the Theology classes in-person or remote at the Altum Institute for a Bachelor’s of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on Theology. This would also allow you to choose another emphasis.
