TRS Minor Requirements
Are you fascinated by religion? Did you enjoy a previous TRS course? Do you want to explore your own religious tradition — or others — in more depth? Consider a minor in Theology & Religious Studies! We offer two great options!
Theology & Religious Studies Minor
The minor in Theology & Religious Studies requires five courses:
LOWER DIVISION
UPPER DIVISION
TRS 169: Theory & Method in the Study of Religion
Any three upper division courses
The department strongly recommends that TRS minors complete at least one of their upper division courses in an “Intensive Inquiry” class. "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. Each semester, the department offers one of these courses in a specific TRS area (such as Christian History or Scripture).
Catholic Tradition Minor
The minor in the Catholic Tradition requires six courses:
LOWER DIVISION
UPPER DIVISION
Two of the following three courses in sequence
TRS 101: Origins of Christianity
TRS 102: The Middle Ages
TRS 103: Reformations
Either TRS 141: Christian Ethics or TRS 143: Catholic Social Teachings
Two electives from a list of classes focusing on the Catholic tradition
The department strongly recommends that Catholic Tradition minors complete at least one of their upper division courses in an “Intensive Inquiry” class. (See the description of "Intensive Inquiry" courses above.)
