The College of St. Scholastica

As a student in St. Scholastica’s theology and religious studies program, you will be able to explore religions of the world to gain new cultural competence. You will broaden your horizons through an enhanced understanding of diverse beliefs and traditions.

Your coursework will give you the opportunity to improve your ability to read, discuss and write about theological, religious and biblical topics. You will be able to speak to the role of faith, religion and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition in shaping meaning in personal and public contexts. You’ll learn how to examine critical questions from a perspective of human dignity, social justice and religious values.

As with all St. Scholastica majors, you will benefit from small class sizes and individualized attention from your professors, and your coursework will sharpen your critical thinking, ethical decision-making and communication skills.
