Students graduating with a major in Catholic Studies will have a knowledge of the living Catholic tradition and will be conversant with resources from the Catholic intellectual tradition that will permit them to critically explore the history and contemporary significance of Catholicism. They will be familiar with major Catholic figures from a variety of cultural and historical settings and will be able to demonstrate a knowledge of the complex and broad history of the Catholic intellectual tradition.

Most students of the Catholic Studies program are enrolled as double majors or minors. Their primary majors are in fields ranging from computer science to business, while the Catholic Studies degree acts as a complement, growing them as professionals and liberating them as humans to see the world as it truly is.
