Academic Program:
While other universities may offer one or two courses in Irish Studies, the University of St. Thomas is one of a handful of universities west of the Mississippi with a minor and graduate concentration in Irish Studies and a Center for Irish Studies. Each semester we offer two to six courses in Irish history, politics, law and culture, literature, theology and the Irish language to undergraduate and graduate students.
Cultural Outreach Program:
On the cultural side, the Center has a Cultural Outreach Forum comprised of businesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations that sponsor the Center’s cultural programs.
Since January 2003, the Center has hosted over 60 cultural events.
The Center brings in 9-12 speakers and cultural performers each year highlighting Ireland and Northern Ireland past and present, on such topics as science and technology, commerce, the peace process, history, politics, law, literature, theology and the Irish language, as well as music, art, dance, drama and storytelling. We co-sponsor these events with The Irish Society, the nonsectarian, nonpartisan and nonprofit community-based organization that helped create the Center for Irish Studies. We also participate in the Irish American Cultural Institute Perceptions Series for two lecturers or cultural performers each year.
