The minor in Catholic studies is an important aspect of our educational mission as a contemporary Catholic college. 
It provides you with an opportunity to explore the richness of the Catholic intellectual, cultural, social and ethical traditions from academic perspectives. You are invited into an appreciative and critical study of the influence of Catholic belief and practice on the development of religion and culture.
