Ohio Dominican's heritage and mission are captured in the motto we share with the Dominican Order: "To Contemplate truth and to share with others the fruits of contemplation."

The Master of Arts in Theology prepares students for ministry by providing a curriculum rich in the theological tradition of the Church. The program's primary focus is on the needs of the Diocese of Columbus for lay and pastoral associates, directors of parish schools of religion, youth ministers, high school religion teachers, and campus ministers.

The course of studies also provides a theological foundation for all persons interested in deepening their Christian commitment and ministerial options. At the center of the program is a curriculum in biblical, historical, systematic and pastoral theology. In addition, there are internships for the development of the professional skills needed in ministry as well as retreats and other faith-formation opportunities.

Ohio Dominican's distinguished faculty form a community of scholars marked by its Dominican tradition and mutual respect. The faculty consider their work as a vocation to serve the church, students and the wider academic community.
