A minor in religious studies serves the mission of Saint Xavier University by offering classes directly related to the core values of our institution and its students. Coursework and faculty research advocate critical thinking, thoughtful engagement with historical and current questions about the common good, practical skills in writing, reading and information literacy, as well as dedication to the spirit of life-long learning.
The minor in religious studies consists of 18 credit hours, 6 of which may be fulfilled by the general education requirement in religious studies. Minors may fulfill the requirements by successfully completing any 4 or more additional courses from those offered by the program, including one seminar.
