Church Teachers College. Dept. of Theology
In 1909, Brigham Young University renamed and refocused the mission of its College. The Church Teachers College absorbed all of the College's departments but centered their energies into thoroughly preparing collegiate students to become high school educators. The Department of Theology retained its name after this change for only one year, when it was renamed the Department of Theology and Religion in 1910.
