The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
Specifically designed for those who would like to serve as parish catechetical leaders, this program, which combines structured coursework and pastoral skills, culminates with a capstone project. Every student in the Religious Education program takes a set of core courses as well as courses focused specifically on the principles of religious education. These core courses include:
| RPS 6311. Liturgy and Sacraments | RPS 6320. Theological Reflection |
| RPS 6312. Moral Theology | RPS 6321. Old Testament |
| RPS 6313. Systematic Theology | RPS 6322. New Testament |
|
RPS 6314. Church History |
RPS 6010. Proseminar |
The MRE program also incorporates a mentoring process in which students are paired with professional ministers who provide additional support, encouragement and practical knowledge that augments and extends the classroom experience.
Please note: This degree program is currently in the process of being changed from a Master's in Religious Education to a Master's in Catechetical Leadership. For questions about these changes and how it might affect your degree, please contact Geralyn Rea a grea@udallas.edu or 972-265-5814.
