The Master of Theological Studies (M.T.S.) at the Gloria L. and Charles I. Clough School of Theology and Ministry is designed for students aiming to pursue further doctoral studies in religion or theology or to gain rigorous, personalized study in theology and its subdisciplines. The program provides thorough grounding in scripture, church history, and theological methods. It includes six elective courses, opportunities to concentrate on personal interests, and a thesis option. M.T.S. students can apply up to 18 credits in ancient or modern languages toward the degree, tailor studies by directed readings with faculty, and participate in the Boston Theological Interreligious Consortium for cross-registration. While formation is not required, extensive optional professional and personal development opportunities are available. The program is supported by resources such as the largest Catholic literature library outside the Vatican and offers a robust academic, social, and scholarly environment. 来源： https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/stm/academics/degrees-certificates/masters-programs/master-of-theology-thm.html
