About
 Catholic Studies in Global Perspective is a multidisciplinary major and minor. The purpose of the Catholic Studies Program is to introduce a new generation to the Catholic heritage through tradition-guided inquiry into the contributions of Catholic intellectuals of every culture and age. The Catholic Studies Program, as an integral part of the University of St. Thomas, carries out its teaching, research and other activities in the light of Catholic ideals, principles and attitudes. Through its multidisciplinary structure, Catholic Studies fosters the integration of knowledge, the dialogue between faith, reason, and culture, and the ethical and moral implications of learning within the unique orientation given by theology.
A degree in Catholic Studies provides young professionals with resources to assume the mission of the laity in a global culture by understanding the Catholic intellectual tradition and applying its principles in professional life. Students are challenged to “Link your Professions to your Faith.” Catholic Studies also provides a solid, multidisciplinary basis for those preparing for diocesan and parish ministries.
Catholic Studies students are actively involved in the integration of faith and life by participating in multidisciplinary discussions, study abroad and service learning. The Archbishop Miller Lecture Series provides encounters with experts who have integrated the Catholic vision into their professional lives. The Archbishop Miller Endowed Chair insures the continuity of the Catholic Studies Program in the future of the University of St. Thomas.
