minor requirements
The minor in Theology and Religious Studies requires five courses: TRS 01, Introduction to Biblical Literature, and any four upper division courses. The department strongly recommends that at least one of the upper division courses should be an Intensive Inquiry class.
The Theology and Religious Studies Department also offers a focused minor in the “Catholic Tradition.” Six courses are required:
- TRS 01, Introduction to Biblical Literature;
- Two of the following three courses in sequence: TRS 101, Origins of Christianity, TRS 102, The Middle Ages, and TRS 103, The Reformation Era;
- Either TRS 141, Christian Ethics or TRS 143, Catholic Social Teachings; and
- Two electives from a list of classes focusing on the Catholic tradition.
