The student will develop a thesis that considers a practical problem and make suggestions based upon scripture and the theological tradition about how this problem may be answered. The thesis project will provide an opportunity for the student to use the principles of practical theology and to integrate the specialized knowledge the student has gained in the program. The integrative colloquium (THEO 510) will aid the student in preparing for the thesis project. After completion of the project, a panel of three persons will discuss the thesis and either approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve with recommendations for improvement.  Please see the thesis procedures, project outline format, library requirements, and sample title pages listed to the right.

Students must apply for graduation no later than March 1st (De Pere Students) or June 1st (New Mexico Students) of the year of their anticipated graduation.  The application form can be found here or in the column to the right.
