The Liturgical Institute Program Information The Liturgical Institute offers a variety of programs for education in liturgical studies. A unified, rites-based curriculum constitutes the foundation of the program; yet each student’s particular interests may be integrated into course work. Personalized mentoring is provided in view of the student’s ministerial and professional goals. The musical, artistic, and architectural dimensions of worship are given particular emphasis in the curriculum. The Institute focuses on preparing students for service to the Church today with a profound appreciation for her rich Tradition. Students of the Institute participate in the “life of the liturgy” with daily Mass and the communal celebration of Morning and Evening Prayer. The program of studies is enriched by guest lectures, Institute conferences and the Hillenbrand Distinguished Lecture Series. Students are welcome to participate in all of these. Master of Arts (Liturgical Studies) The Master of Arts (Liturgical Studies) is an academic degree which provides the graduate with the scholarship to serve as a liturgical resource to ministries at diocesan and parochial levels. This degree also qualifies the student to teach in secondary-education programs or for further graduate study at the doctoral level. The program is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools. Master of Arts in Liturgy The Master of Arts in Liturgy is a professional degree which provides the graduate with theologically informed skills for practical liturgical leadership in a diocesan office, parish, or secondary-education program. The program is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools. Licentiate of Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) The Licentiate of Sacred Theology (S.T.L.) with specialization in Sacramental Theology is a research degree which trains students to teach a wide variety of courses, from adult education to graduate courses. The S.T.L. also prepares graduates for scholarly research in the field of sacramental and liturgical theology as well as for teaching in Catholic seminaries, universities, and colleges. As a canonical degree of the Ecclesiastical Faculty of Theology, the S.T.L. is accredited by the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See. In conjunction with our Ecclesiastical program, we offer a concentration in Sacramental / Liturgical Theology. For further information please see the Ecclesiastical Bulletin. Doctorate in Sacred Theology (S.T.D.) The doctoral program, which is the third cycle of theological studies, is a two year program of specialized research in systematic theology. At the University of Saint Mary of the Lake, the doctoral program, like the licentiate, offers concentrations in the Doctrine of God, Christology, Theological Anthropology, Theological Method, and Sacramental/Liturgical Theology. The Doctoral program ordinarily extends over two years and aims at the completion of the student’s scientific formation especially through the writing of a doctoral dissertation. The program presumes superior achievement at the licentiate level. The Doctorate in Sacred Theology (S.T.D.) is the terminal research degree. Its focus is to perfect the skills of the candidate in the scientific study of theology and to develop the research skills necessary for treating theological questions in depth. As a terminal research degree, the doctorate prepares students to be university professors, researchers, and expert resource persons. A graduate of the S.T.D. program is prepared to teach theology in a college, seminary, or university, to conduct independent research and publishing and to act as a theological resource for a diocese and diocesan agencies.
