Catholic Studies Minor

The Catholic Studies Program provides students with (1) an integrated Catholic and Ignatian way of seeing reality, (2) the central tenets of Catholic doctrine and of a faithful Catholic worldview, (3) a concrete interdisciplinary experience of how the Catholic worldview can engage with and orient a student’s major, (4) and a service learning component that blends the Catholic intellectual tradition with its concern for love of neighbor and a preferential option for the poor. Unlike any other minor at Loyola, the Catholic Studies minor focuses primarily on a way of thinking about and looking at reality. It teaches a Catholic way of engaging with other disciplines while never replacing them.
