Catholic Studies Minor


JOHN KNIGHT, Ph.D., Coordinator
JANET STIVERS, Ph.D.

Catholic Studies is a multidisciplinary program which offers students an opportunity to study how the tradition of Catholic Christianity has shaped the world we know today, to examine their beliefs and values in a mature and critical way, and to further integrate their Core/Liberal Studies program.

The three required courses for the Minor are designed to provide students with a historical and theological foundation in the traditions of Catholic Christianity. The elective courses in the several groupings identified below encourage students to explore the implications of Catholic thought, imagination, spirituality, and social/political vision within the many other disciplines they are studying. All the required or elective courses for the Minor can also satisfy one or another Core/LS area requirement.

If you have further questions, contact Dr. John Knight, Coordinator.

Group One (Art, Music, Literature)
