The thirty-unit Bachelor of Sacred Theology is a “first-cycle” program, corresponding to the Regis College Master of Divinity, that provides first formation in ministry. The two year, “second cycle,” Licentiate in Sacred Theology provides the basic level of competence to teach theology in many Roman Catholic schools and is often pursued in conjunction with a Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology research oriented advanced master program. The “third cycle” Doctor of Sacred Theology offers the in-depth preparation required to teach at an advanced level or exercise other creative forms of leadership in the Church.
