Welcome to the website for the School of Ministry. I invite you to explore our webpages and learn about our academic community of teachers and students.

The School of Ministry is a graduate school of theological studies and pastoral ministry within the University of Dallas, an accredited, Roman Catholic university.

The School of Ministry meets the educational needs of the Church through five strategic areas of focus: its flagship master's degree programs; the Catholic Biblical School; adult continuing education programs, including deacon formation programs and adult faith formation programs at the parish level; an annual ministry conference; and a unique Rome Study Abroad program. The School of Ministry offers five master's degree programs: theological studies, Catholic school leadership, Catholic school teaching, religious education and pastoral ministry. The Master of Pastoral Ministry degree program offers seven concentrations: church management, campus ministry, family ministry, healthcare ministries, Hispanic ministry, pastoral life and administration, and youth ministry.

The University is committed to expanding the School of Ministry's domestic and international programs with high-quality, innovative new academic programs that meet the developing needs of an increasingly diverse Catholic clergy, deacons and lay persons.

The School of Ministry is widely recognized as an important center for learning theology, developing pastoral skills and fostering spiritual growth. It is a member of the Association of Graduate Programs in Ministry and the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education.
