Catholic Studies minors must take a minimum of six courses - no more than two may be at the introductory (100) level; at least two must be at the advanced level (300 or 400) level; the rest may be at the intermediate (200) level.

At least one course must be chosen from among the listings in each of the religion and philosophy departments. Two other courses must be chosen from two other, separate disciplines, such as political science and art.

The final requirement is enrollment in the Capstone Course. This independent study under the guidance of one member of the faculty may be research, a report on experience, or artistic work. While the work is independent, students and their faculty mentors will meet occasionally throughout the semester. This course earns three credits.
