The Doctor of Theology in Applied Theology at Saint Leo University is a rigorous scholarly degree for those engaged in ministry or education within the American Catholic Church and other ecclesial contexts.  Through this program, students will critically engage theological methods, contexts, concepts, and practices.  This theological formation will assist our students in developing more rigorous research, writing, and communications skills that are oriented toward how to apply these skills and content knowledge to real world theological situations.  It is aimed at continued professionalization for those who are already actively shaping the church of the 21st century.
