Special Notes on Major Requirements

1. Theology majors may take up to nine credits in approved cognate courses in other departments in fulfillment of the theology electives requirement.

2. Courses in classical and modern languages and in philosophy are strongly recommended.

Sequence of Courses

Students considering a major in Theology should take Th110 and Th120 in their Freshman year. The core Philosophy courses should be taken in Sophomore year.

Required Theology electives are taught only every second or third year, so they should be taken as soon as possible after completion of Th110 and Th120.

Transfer students with credits already earned in Theology/Religious Studies should consult the Chair of the Theology Department for assistance in planning their curriculum.

Requirements for a Theology Minor

Theology minors must take 18 credits of theology, inclusive of the 6 credits of the core courses. Three credits of the requirement may be fulfilled in an approved cognate course in another department.
