Course Requirements

Students entering Saint Mary's College with fewer that 16.0 units are required to complete two Theology & Religious Studies courses.  Students who transfer in with 16.0 or more units must complete only one Theology & Religious Studies course.  Please note that TRS 97 or its equivalent is a prerequisite to all upper division classes in Theology & Religious Studies.  Students may apply Theology & Religious Studies courses beyond those required to their Area A (Humanities) requirement.

Theology & Religious Studies classes, like Collegiate Seminar courses, are integral to the Saint Mary's experience and are expected to be completed in residence.  As such, transfer courses are not routinely accepted in fulfillment of this requirement after establishing residence at Saint Mary's College.  For courses taken as part of study abroad to count towards the core requirement in Theology & Religious Studies, they should be shown in advance as not only academically rigorous but also as enhancing the study abroad experience in that particular country.
