Diploma in Spiritual Formation

The first two years of the MSF curriculum, which comprises 8 courses totaling 24 credit hours—may be taken independently for the Diploma in Spiritual Formation.

MSF/DSF PROGRAM GOALS

 Through formal coursework, adopting a series of spiritual practices, and the completion of a thesis or project, students:

•  discover major figures, movements, and teachings from Christian spirituality, past and present;

•  explore spiritual practices that bring together theology, prayer, and ministry;

•  discern their own growth in Christian faith, understanding their place in the Church, and bringing the responsibilities of daily life into the light of faith and the practice of prayer;

•  connect Christian faith and practice to the complex and difficult world of contemporary culture;

•  find guidance for their vocation as disciples of Christ in Church and world.
