Although some people study theology to prepare for a particular religious order, others study it to understand the divine. Through reviewing religious and philosophical beliefs throughout history, students can gain a better grasp not only on each of the specific traditions but also on people’s beliefs in general.

There are a few potential benefits to looking into a graduate pathway for students who know they want more than a simple bachelor’s degree. One example is that this choice may help the student specialize and prepare for advanced courses.
