What do DSPT graduates do with their degrees?
Our students come from many different backgrounds and have many different reasons for joining us. The most common paths taken by our lay graduates are doctoral study, teaching (high school and college), higher education administration, parish or diocesan ministry, campus ministry, and non-profit work. However, we also have students and graduates who work in the business world and in the legal and medical professions who seek to apply their training in philosophy and theology to their careers. An education in philosophy and theology is very versatile, emphasizing critical thinking and effective communication skills needed in every profession. Among recent graduates, two-thirds secured full-time employment right away and 88% are now working full-time.
