The Doctorate in Moral Theology is pursued in an environment of rigorous scholarly inquiry within a research community and under the qualified guidance of a professor.

In the Cursus ad doctoratum, aided by a selection of supplementary courses and various opportunities of thoughtful interaction with our competent academic staff, students embark on a process which allows them to select a research topic and choose a Moderator. The Gregorian University offers its doctoral candidates the combined resources of three superb Libraries and a peaceful space wherein they can focus, go deep into their research topic, and eventually make a real contribution to the progress of theological science.

The Schola doctoralis offers our doctoral students a series of seminar-style meetings on various topics to guide their scientific research and ensure a solid intellectual formation.
