Health Care Mission Academic Programs

Overview

Housed under the Ashley-O'Rourke Center for Health Ministry Leadership, the Graduate Certificate in Health Care Mission, the Master of Arts in Practical Theology with a Specialization in Health Care Mission, and the Dual Master of Arts in Theology and PhD in Health Care Ethics provide an education and formation for a wide range of professionals and volunteers that strengthens the commitment to Catholic health care and results in deeper engagement in mission.

These programs are designed to provide a solid theological foundation for those committed to Catholic mission and identity in a format accessible to all leaders in active health care ministry. 

Grounded in the Dominican intellectual tradition of study and the moral teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas, and aligned with the Catholic Health Association's competencies for mission leaders, our academic programs offer leaders across the Catholic health ministry the opportunity to continue their education and formation with excellent faculty.
