Minor in Christianity and Culture

Overview

Annual courses with a donor-funded study abroad component have been a distinctive component of the minor. Students in these courses have had the opportunity to visit Rome, where the seed of the Gospel first took root in the West and which remains the center of Roman Catholicism, and the British Isles, which nurtured those forms of Christian experience most historically influential in the United States.
