Faculty who develop courses in Catholic Studies should possess an appreciation for this tradition and for the relationship of Catholicism and culture. Using appropriate and effective methods of scholarly analysis and pedagogy, the faculty in the program should promote serious reflection on the richness, diversity, and vitality of the Catholic tradition and its intellectual life.
