Faith-Justice Minor

Students deciding to pursue a minor in Faith-Justice Studies are strongly advised to contact the Faith-Justice Institute during their sophomore year.

Students seeking the minor are required to successfully complete 6 courses from the program’s listings, with no more than three from one’s major and at least one Theology course which directly addresses Catholic Social Thought.

Students are permitted to convert one upper division course into a Faith-Justice course, provided that they observe the following guidelines: (1) the student will obtain written permission from the instructor of the course and from the Director of the Faith-Justice Institute within the first six weeks of the course; (2) the student will submit a written plan indicating how the course will satisfy Faith-Justice course criteria; and (3) the student will submit a brief 3-4 page report at the end of the semester outlining how Faith-Justice objectives have been met, along with supporting written materials (examinations, journals, term projects, etc.). Students may also use 3 credits of a senior independent project to satisfy one of the course requirements, provided that they submit a proposal signed by a faculty mentor or departmental chair from their major with the first six weeks of the semester during which the three credits will be earned. The courses listed below are a partial listing of courses which may apply toward the Faith-Justice minor. Students are advised to refer to course schedules and to meet with the Director during the registration period to determine which sections of each course apply; not all sections of every course necessarily satisfy requirements for the Faith-Justice Studies minor.
