The Theology Education Program, a combination of a Theology major and Secondary Education minor, prepares candidates for becoming 5-12 theology teachers. While a Minnesota teaching license does not exist for theology, our department places the same requirements, as available, on students of Theology Education as programs leading to licensure. This program includes both foundational coursework as well as a student teaching experience.

What You’ll Gain

At the completion of this program, students will have accomplished:

• 100+ hours of field experiences
• An additional 600 hours during 16 weeks of student teaching
• Opportunities for leadership through partnerships between CSB/SJU and local school(s) during Discover Your Future

Seeking Licensure

The Theology Education program is a non-licensure program. A teaching license in theology is not available in the state of Minnesota for recommendation of candidate or program approval. However, candidates that complete this program have many similar requirements that our license-seeking teaching candidates must complete.

For more information regarding licensing, please see Apply for Licensure. Additional questions regarding licensing can be directed to the Program Coordinator.
