Minor
Minor in Religious Studies
Prospective minors must consult with the chair of the Religious Studies Department. With the help of a departmental advisor, students plan a series of courses totaling 18 credits in one of the following areas of concentration:
Note: Only two courses may be applied from the 100 level.
- Roman Catholic Theology (to recognize the methods and sources of Roman Catholic Theology).
- World Religions (to recognize and research world religions, both Eastern and Western).
- Ethics (to emphasize a personal and communal process of moral decision-making from professional, cultural, and religious perspectives).
- World Scriptures (to read and explore the original sources of various world religions in translation to appreciate the literary richness of selected World Religions).
Note: Courses to be used for each of the minor concentration areas must be approved by the chair of the Religious Studies department and must include at least one course at or beyond the 200 level. Courses taken to meet a student’s major requirements may NOT also be applied to a Religious Studies minor. A grade point average of 2.00 is required for all courses taken in residence that may be applied to the minor.
