Theta Alpha Kappa (ΘAK) Honor Society

In 1976, Professor Albert Clark, F.S.C., established at Manhattan College in Riverdale (the Bronx), New York, for the purpose of recognizing the academic achievements of religion and theology students. Since then, Theta Alpha Kappa has grown to more than 200 chapters nationally in four-year educational institutions ranging from small religiously affiliated colleges to large public research institutions. It is the only national honor society dedicated to recognizing academic excellence in baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate students and in scholars in the fields of religious studies and theology.

The ��ֱ�� Department of Theology and Religious Studies inaugurated a ΘAK chapter in 2017.
