 Foster your spiritual growth and knowledge of the Catholic faith without traveling to a campus.  STEP at Notre Dame has developed a variety of online theology offerings designed to accommodate different learning styles, goals, and time constraints.  Most courses are designed and developed by a professor from Notre Dame's Department of Theology and then delivered by a STEP facilitator.
