Creighton University Graduate School Christian Spirituality 2500 California University College Omaha, NE 68178 US   Phone: 1-402-280-2669   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.A.-Christian Spirituality On Campus Online   Offered in the summer only, in two four-week terms, the Master of Arts in Christian Spirituality combines solid academic study with personal appropriation of the content of Christian faith through prayer and worship, and application of these to one’s life and ministry. The graduate program in Christian Spirituality holds as its primary value the integration of these three elements: 1.) A thorough knowledge of Christian Spirituality based on Scripture, Church Tradition and Christian heritage, contemporary theology and psychology with an emphasis on Ignatian Spirituality; 2.) Experiential appropriation of the mysteries of the Christian faith grounded in human development through reflection, prayer and communal worship. 3.) An apostilic orientation directed toward more effective ministry skills, especially toward preparation for giving spiritual direction and directed retreats. These are not viewed as successive stages or compartments but as a lived synthesis of mind, heart and mission. The degree requires 33 credit hours of course work. Courses are scheduled so that students may successfully complete the degree in three eight-week summer sessions. Students are required to make a retreat of eight days under an approved director during the program. No thesis is required, but an integrating essay of approximately 25 pages concludes the program of study.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required: 33  Time To Degree: three eight-week summer sessions    Previous Degrees All applicants (degree and certificate) should have a minimum of 12 credit hours in undergraduate theology, and they should share the spiritual goals of the program.  Pre-Requisite Courses 12 credits in theology  International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: None Required Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 206  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 349  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $625  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $11900  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Roman Catholic
