MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
 Your interest in the Master of Arts in Practical Theology and Ministry gives witness to an ever growing response of the People of God for professional development and theological education. Being in South Florida, Barry University is uniquely situated in the cross roads of the Americas. Our faculty is energized by the opportunity to meet and work with people of diverse cultures and faiths who desire to deepen the theological foundations of their faith commitment and to do so in practical ways in a Catholic international university rooted in the Adrian Dominican tradition.
Barry's MA in Practical Theology and Ministry and Ministry and Ministry features an excellent combination of theological education and ministerial formation in the Roman Catholic and other Christian traditions. Our students represent a diverse community from lay and ordained ministries with various cultural backgrounds and faith traditions. Our fulltime faculty members provide the one-to-one attention and professional expertise that foster our students’ academic, personal, and ministerial growth.
Those for whom the MA in Practical Theology and Ministry and Ministry and Ministry is a terminal degree will enjoy the joint benefits of theological education and ministerial formation in a multicultural environment, an invaluable combination for those committed to a Christian community of faith in the 21st century.
