Description: The Certificate in Hispanic Theology and Ministry (HTM) offers students a background in pastoral theology, spirituality, Cross-cultural and related disciplines. The HTM certificate program is especially helpful for pastoral ministers who want an academic background in Latin@ theology, want to enhance their preparation for Hispanic/Latin@ ministry, or wish to complete a year's study in Catholic theology.

The HTM Certifcate consists of six courses (18 semesters hours) . Two of the courses are electives, which gives you latitude to explore a variety of issues in theological disciplines while still maintaining a Latin@ perspective. The required courses include F4000 Religion in Context, plus three specifically Latin@ courses. One the three Latin@ topic courses may be substituted by a semester of either the ministry practicum or ministry immersion in a Latin@/Hispanic setting.

N.B.: A reading knowledge of Spanish is highly recommended, but not necessary.
