the Catholic tradition provides a focus because of Trinity\u2019s own origins in the mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.\u00a0 Inspired by the global mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame and the vision of Vatican II, the program is committed to ecumenical and interfaith dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>This program is an essential part of the general education curriculum in the College of Arts and Sciences, and its courses are designed to complement and support the major programs. \u00a0Additionally, the program offers a minor to students in the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Program objectives for students include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To analyze, evaluate and appreciate specific religious beliefs and worldviews.<\/li>\n<li>To increase her ability to acquire an understanding of spiritual traditions and develop her own personal stance toward life.<\/li>\n<li>To better understand and respect religious and cultural diversity as well as to encourage a firm commitment to social justice and a sense of responsibility for the global society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span id=\"Minor_Requirements\"><h2><span style=\"color: #4d3069;font-size: 22px;line-height: normal\">Minor Requirements<\/span><\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>Choose ONE of the following courses:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 101<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 102<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 101<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 201<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 210<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Choose TWO of the following courses:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 201<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 202<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 204<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 205<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 230<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 240<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 250<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 220<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 222<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 223<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Choose THREE of the following courses:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 265<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 301<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px\"><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 305<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 307<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 353<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 310<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 328<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >THE 330<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span id=\"Program_Policies\"><h2><span style=\"color: #4d3069;font-size: 22px;line-height: normal\">Program Policies<\/span><\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>Advanced Placement:<\/strong><br \/>\nCredits earned through AP examinations do not fulfill requirements of the minor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLEP Policy:<\/strong><br \/>\nCredits earned through CLEP examinations do not fulfill requirements of the minor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grades in Required Courses:<\/strong><br \/>\nStudents are required to earn a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better in all courses counted to fulfill requirements for the minor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pass\/No Pass:<\/strong><br \/>\nCourses in the minor may not be taken pass\/no pass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL Policy:<\/strong><br \/>\nTELL credits will not count toward the minor in religious studies or theology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transfer Credits:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe religious studies and theology program does not accept transfer credits for the minor;
