Program Overview

The Catholic Studies program at Fairfield University is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the intellectual tradition, history, and culture of the Catholic Christian tradition. It follows a "cultural studies" model, focusing on the broader cultural impact of Catholicism and includes courses on theology, history, literature, arts, science, and ethics. The minor program requires 15 credits, including five 3-credit courses, with at least two in Religious Studies and one outside of it.
