Center for Advanced Theological Studies (CATS)

The Center for Advanced Theological Studies [CATS] of the School of Theology of Fuller Theological Seminary seeks primarily to prepare women and men for ministries as teachers and educators.  CATS offers programs in a broad range of theological disciplines for both the ThM and PhD degrees.  The CATS program with its diverse and international group of students engages in graduate work at the highest levels of scholarship, research and reflection.  This takes place in a community of scholars committed to such study within the context of Evangelical faith aimed at serving the varied and world-wide Church of Jesus Christ.  The CATS program is also dedicated to contributing significantly to theological scholarship in general and to Evangelical scholarship both in academic and Church settings.

The programs we offer are:

For both the PhD and the ThM degrees a student chooses one of our 9 concentrations.
