The Double Major M a ny students find it possible to complete the re q u i re m e n t s for two majors within the College. The 120 hours re q u i red fo r graduation will remain suffi c i e n t, if the core re q u i rements as well as both major re q u i rements can be fulfi l l e d. In addition to f u l filling the ge n e ral re q u i rements for degree completion, t h e student seeking a double major mu s t : 1. obtain two Student Application for Admission to Major D e p a rt m e n t fo rms in the Dean s Offi c e, one fo rm for each d e p a rt m e n t, and re t u rn the completed fo rms to the Dean s O ffi c e. 2. upon acceptance by each depart m e n t, be assigned two a d v i s o rs, one from each depart m e n t. 3. satisfy re q u i rements in each major. 4. complete a single Senior Inquiry (if re q u i re d, c o m b i n i n g both major areas into one coordinated inquiry ). A student enrolled in another school or college of the U n i ve rsity may earn a second major within the College of A rt s and Sciences by satisfying the core re q u i rements of the degre e granting school or college and the major re q u i rements of both fi e l d s, completing at least 120 hours. Both departments and the student make an agreement to accept and coordinate the potential pro gram at the outset. N o d e p a rtment is re q u i red to participate in a double major program when it is felt that for some reason a part i c u l a r combination is impra c t i c a l. R e q u i rements for Second Bachelor s Degree Applicants A student is cl a s s i fied as a second bach e l o r s degree candidate if he or she is seeking an undergraduate degree and has prev i- o u s ly re c e i ved a baccalaureate degre e.

D e ficiencies in these core areas must be re m oved befo re awa rding of the second Bachelor Degre e, so as to pre s e rve the unique ch a racter of Jesuit Liberal Education. R e q u i rements for Bachelor s Degree Applicants with prior Associate of Arts degre e : C o m munity college tra n s fe rs who hold an Associate of A rt s d e gree must have a balanced AA degre e w h i ch means that s t u d e n t s, in order to obtain a Bach e l o r s degre e, must have at least one approved three-hour college level course from each of the core curriculum areas of Foundations of Discours e, C u l t u ral Dive rs i t y, Fo reign Language, Fine A rt s, L i t e ra t u re, S c i e n c e, M a t h e m a t i c s,world History, Social Science, and have nine hours of Philosophy and nine hours of T h e o l o gy, with the last six hours of Philosophy and the last six hours of T h e o l o gy t a ken at Saint Louis Unive rs i t y.

The maximum number of hours accepted in tra n s fer with an AA degre e, f rom all sourc e s, is 64. C o re Curriculum Require m e n t s To be a Catholic, Jesuit Unive rsity is to foster the deve l o p m e n t of women and men for others, people who are dedicated to the common good and especially to social justice. The mission of the Core Curriculum of the College of A rts and Sciences of Saint Louis Unive rsity is to foster the development of effe c t i ve l e a d e rs fully pre p a red to contribute to society. The mission is accomplished by a curriculum which : d evelops a bro a d u n d e rstanding of ethical and re l i gious principles and their relationship to the moral ch a l l e n ges of eve ry d ay life, p rov i d e s students with practical know l e d ge and theoretical fra m ewo rk s to understand and tra n s fo rm the world and address fo rt h ri g h t ly the moral questions confronting today s society, d eve l o p s sensitivity to the points of view of the oppressed and the m a rgi n a l i z e d, s t ri ves to reduce ethno-centric biases and encourages a sch o l a r ly pers p e c t i ve on cro s s - c u l t u ral issues, ex p o s e s students to diffe rent disciplines and their va riety of appro a ch e s to the quest for know l e d ge, p rovides the tools for further learning through courses in the humanities, social sciences, n a t u ra l s c i e n c e, and mathematics, enhances effe c t i ve commu n i c a t i o n t h rough courses in composition and fo reign language, i n c re a s e s awa reness of the imagi n a t i ve, a rt i s t i c, and affe c t i ve capacities of h u m a n k i n d, and encourages an understanding of past tra d i t i o n s as well as an orientation towa rd present social pro bl e m s.

Acceptance into the pro gram is determined by previous academic perfo rm a n c e, a ch i evement in college entrance ex a m i n a t i o n and evidence of interest in the pro gram as explained in the H o n o rs Pro gram bro ch u re. A student who demonstrates academic ability and/or develops an interest in the Honors Pro gra m d u ring the freshman year may also be admitted. A student must maintain a 3.30 minimum grade point ave rage to remain in the Pro gra m.

M a n resa Program in Catholic, Jesuit S t u d i e s Daniel Finucane, Ph.D, Dire c t o r The Manresa Pro gram in the College of A rts and Sciences offe rs i n t e rd i s c i p l i n a ry and integrated study in the intellectual and social traditions of the Church from the New Testament peri o d to the pre s e n t. Designed to ex p l o re major questions that have occupied Christian philosophers and theologi a n s, a rtists and l i t e ra ry wri t e rs, political theorists and histori a n s, and natura l and social scientists, the pro gram welcomes students of all re l i gious faiths and all academic majors. In addition to a va ri e t y of courses in the Christian intellectual tra d i t i o n, M a n resa offe rs i n t e rested students opportunities to ex p l o re the history and mission of the Society of Jesus and the traditions underly i n g Saint Louis Unive rsity as a Catholic, Jesuit institution. A l o n g with course wo rk, the pro gram also offe rs a va riety of social and spiritual activities and opportunities for community serv i c e in neighborhoods near the unive rs i t y. I d e a l ly, the Manresa Pro gram is begun in the freshman ye a r. Sections of T h e o l o gy 100 cross-listed as MP A-100 fulfill the re q u i rement for an initial foundational cours e. For students who begin the pro gram later in their studies, c e rtain 200-leve l T h e o l o gy courses also fulfill this re q u i re m e n t. After the fo u n d a- tional cours e, students in the pro gram enroll in an additional 12 hours of Manresa courses that match their intere s t s. A fi n a l capstone cours e, w h i ch is norm a l ly taken in the senior ye a r, p rovides students with an opportunity to synthesize and re fl e c t on their studies and to relate their ex p e riences in the pro gra m to their academic majors and their future go a l s. Those who successfully complete the re q u i red 18 hours of c o u rs ewo rk re c e i ve a Cert i ficate in the Christian Intellectual Tra d i t i o n, w h i ch can be an important credential in apply i n g for graduate school or for employ m e n t. Since most Manresa c o u rses also fulfill re q u i rements in the Core or in a student s major or minor, p a rticipation in the pro gram typically invo l ve s o n ly a few additions to a student s plan of study. N o t e : All Manresa courses are cross-listed with courses in regular academic depart m e n t s. All but the capstone course may also be used to satisfy re q u i rements of the Core or of part i c u l a r m a j o rs or minors. To insure proper credit towa rd re q u i re m e n t s outside the pro gra m, students are advised to take their Manre s a classes under course nu m b e rs designated by the depart m e n t s rather than the MP nu m b e rs used in the pro gra m.

P re-law Pro g r a m Charles Fleener, Ph.D., Dire c t o r The Pre - L aw Pro gram is designed to info rm and advise students i n t e rested in law as a pro fession and serves all Undergra d u a t e S chools and Colleges of the Unive rs i t y. As law schools do not demand a specific major, p re-legal education is bro a d ly defi n e d. The successful applicant to law school will demonstrate deve l- opment of verbal comprehension and art i c u l a t i o n, c re a t i ve t h i n k i n g, a critical viewpoint of human institutions and va l u e s, and the ability to write effe c t i ve ly. The Pre - L aw Advisor assists students in designing their pre - l aw c u rriculum and advises them re g a rding law school admission re q u i re m e n t s, and post-law school legal opport u n i t i e s. T h ro u g h contact with the Law School Admission Council, the Pre - L aw Advisor maintains copies of the Law School Admission Bulletin w h i ch provides info rmation about the Law School A d m i s s i o n s Test (LSAT ), an objective examination offe red four times each ye a r, re q u i red by virt u a l ly all Schools of Law in the United S t a t e s. P re - l aw students should develop an educational pro gram that meets the student s individual needs and interests and pre p a re s him or her for the pursuit of a legal education.
