MASTERS OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (MRE): Christ the Teacher College offers the Master of Religious Education Degree. The Master of Religious Education degree provides a multi-disciplinary preparation for religious education ministry in the Catholic Church. Our program is grounded in the teaching of the Catholic Church, and offers practical applications for ministry, so our participants can use what they learn in our courses immediately in their classrooms and ministries. Our mission for the MRE program is to prepare future leaders of the Church for Religious Education Ministry, not simply by imparting knowledge, but also sharing classroom applications, experience and excellent resources. Our graduates will not only be confident in their knowledge of the Catholic Faith, but also the various ministries and the responsibilities contained therein.
