Courses

Through our affiliation with The University of San Diego, FST students can enhance their degree programs with a wide selection of graduate-level courses taught at the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, the School of Leadership and Education Sciences (SOLES), and the School of Business. Many FST students hope to pursue careers in non-profit management, social work, healthcare, education, and other ministries. Courses at the University of San Diego’s graduate schools can enrich their theological study with the professional expertise to help them change the world. Students interested in cross-registration consult with their advisor and submit through the FST Vice President of Academic Affairs.
