The Theology of the Body Institute, headed by Christopher West, and Pontifex University have formally partnered to offer a unique Master’s degree that guides students along the via pulchritudinis (“the way of beauty”) and equips them with the necessary catechetical tools and theological and cultural understanding to engage a world desperately in need of revitalization. The program includes the study of theology and philosophy and the history of Catholic culture, with a focus on the sacred arts, and the writings of Pope St. John Paul II with a particular emphasis on the Theology of the Body.
The degree is granted by Pontifex University and is awarded after the successful completion of 36 credit hours, graded from an exam and essay for each course; and a final thesis. Twenty-two (22) of these credits will be acquired by completing 11 five-day on-site courses offered by the Theology of the Body Institute. The remaining 14 credits will be acquired via Pontifex University’s online platform.
