catholic studies minor
Requirements for the Minor: 6 courses taken over four (4) years




3 Foundational Courses: one in philosophy, one in theology—both are (and fulfill) CORE courses. The
third foundational course, CATH 296 (All Things Ignatian…), must be taken within the first four semesters
of a student’s program. CATH 296 fulfills an LUC Engaged Learning requirement and a Theology elective.
3 Elective Courses: students can specialize in specific disciplines from an array of cross-listed courses,
such as Theology, Philosophy, History, English, Classical Studies, Fine Arts, Political Science. These
courses may overlap with CORE requirements.
NOTE: no more than two courses from a single academic discipline may count towards the minor, and at
least two courses must be taken at the 300-level.
Capstone: Catholic Studies minors attend 3 capstone seminars in their senior year, to explore the
relationship of the Catholic Intellectual tradition and their major field of study.
