As a theology major at Fordham, you’ll explore these profound questions through an intellectually sophisticated engagement with the Christian tradition in dialogue with other faiths. In light of Fordham’s Jesuit heritage, our program focuses on the rich diversity within the Catholic tradition. You’ll discover, interpret, and understand the evolving beliefs and practices of Christianity through a variety of disciplines, including history, philosophy, and literature. Your coursework will emphasize the mutual influence of faith and culture historically and in the present. You’ll make connections between the world’s religious and moral teachings and the realities of social injustice, which are widely on display in New York City. You’ll confront these contradictions both morally and practically through service to others. You’ll learn more than theology here. You’ll also study philosophy, literature, art, history, mathematics, languages, sciences, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. A degree in theology teaches you to read critically and carefully, argue positions soundly, and communicate ideas clearly. These are invaluable skills in the job market and prerequisites for advanced study in any field. While some of our majors pursue advanced graduate work in theology or religion, other students go on to have meaningful and successful careers in: Law Business Nonprofit sector Medicine
