II. Other Program Requirements

Catholic Studies students are expected to participate in three types of co-curricular activities; majors must complete three activities per academic year -- e.g. academic lectures, symphonies, a trip to an art gallery, Campus Ministry group or retreat, service project coordinated with the Hunthausen Center for Peace and Justice, etc.

Participation will be tracked throughout a student's academic career and will be recorded in the final semester.
