Notre Dame program puts theology training courses on Internet

Author: Catholic News Service

NOTRE DAME, Ind. (CNS) -- The University of Notre Dame is harnessing the knowledge of its 45-member theology department and making it available on the Internet, said Tom Cummings, director of Notre Dame's Satellite Theological Education Program. The program, known as STEP, began in 1999 as a videotape and conference service to primarily rural dioceses, but has evolved and now carries the work of its theologians into the vast arena of cyberspace. Through the Internet, the satellite program offers 10 online courses featuring video lectures by Notre Dame professors on topics such as the sacraments, Scripture, Christian ethics, liturgy and Christian doctrine. The university does not offer college credit for the courses, but gives a certificate to people who successfully complete them. Information on STEP and a list of the courses are available on the program's Web site at: http://step.nd.edu, or by phoning STEP at: (574) 631-5510, or toll free at: (866) 425-7837.
