The Catholic Studies Program is designed both for students wishing to pursue a minor and for students interested in taking one or several courses that would expand and deepen their understanding of Catholicism. The program draws on courses offered independently by various academic departments, the subject matter of which as a whole or in substantial part, deals with aspects of Catholicism.
A minor in Catholic Studies consists of 18 credit hours. All students are required to take CATH 1190: Introduction to Catholic Studies, normally at the beginning of the program. During subsequent years, students take 12 credit hours from a list of approved courses focused specifically on themes and issues in Catholic Studies. Finally students take a capstone course, RLGN 3870: The Thoughts of Bernard Lonergan.
