TRS Major Requirements
If I choose to pursue a major in Theology & Religious Studies at Saint Mary's College, what courses will I take?
The major in Theology & Religious Studies consists of a minimum of 10 courses:
Lower Division Course
- TRS 97: The Bible and Its Interpretation
Upper Division Courses
- TRS 169: Theory and Method in the Study of Religion
- Five area courses (one class from each of the following areas, chosen in consultation with the chair):
- Christian History
- Scripture
- Contemporary Christian Thought
- Ethics
- World Religions
- Three elective courses (chosen in consultation with the chair)
TRS Majors are encouraged to take the “Intensive Inquiry” course offered in a specific TRS area (such as Christian History or Scripture) each semester by the department. "Intensive Inquiry" courses are designed to offer students who have already taken two Theology & Religious Studies classes an opportunity to pursue particular areas of study in a more focused and in-depth manner than is usually possible in regular TRS coursework.
