First-Year Experience
Students must take one course:
- FYEX 100
Students must participate in a learning community:
- Living Learning Community
OR - Two Theme-Based Learning Community Courses (TBLC)
Courses taken for either learning community can overlap with either major or core area requirements. Both types of learning communities have activity requirements outside of class.
Note: Both courses from the Theme-Based Learning Community (TBLC) courses must be within the same theme, and students must register for the accompanying TBLC Path (FYEX 150) (for activities) for the specific TBLC for which they are signed up.

Days of Week:M - W - F - - Time of Day:0935 - 1040 Location:OEC 210 Course Registration Number:22406 (View in ClassFinder) Credit Hours:4 Instructor:Timothy J. Dewey This course will examine the enduring appeal and growing influence of conspiracy theories. We will look at key historical events, figures, and social issues in the history of our nation and the conspiracy theories they have spawned, as well as the psychological phenomena most commonly associated with conspiracism, and the rhetoric of political paranoia. The objective of the course is neither to promote nor debunk any particular theory, but to examine the role that conspiracy theories play as modern mythologies, dramatizing our fears and anxieties, and (strangely enough) our enduring (and possibly naïve) hope that things will one day get better. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies both a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement. Please note that ENGL 203 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 202, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

Potter This course will introduce students to the theological framework that Christians have historically used to address questions of faith and human existence through the lens of contextual theology. Contextual theology emphasizes the importance of a believing community’s milieu—social, political, geographical, cultural, etc.—in understanding the priorities and contours of their faith and theological reflection. In this course, students will read Scripture and classic Christian texts with an eye to the authors’ and readers’ socio-political realities, as well as how critics and contemporary readers of these texts receive and understand these thinkers. The course will focus particularly on the development of Christian soteriology and anthropology over time and space, as well as the lived effects of different theological expressions for the common good Schedule Details

Spencer If to work is to share in the creative activity of God, then what specific challenge does this pose for an attorney given the grinding realities of the legal profession? If to be a professional is to live out a tripartite relationship between self, client, and a higher standard, then how does an attorney determine, much less respond to such a standard? Through a close reading of a variety of theological texts, treaties, case studies and rules of professional conduct, this course will address these questions and, in so doing, attempt to fashion a paradigm for the Christian practice of law. Within this paradigm, emphasis will be placed on the meaning of justice, law, rights and responsibilities. An ethic of care that fosters the development of a compassionate world and a common life will be emphasized. Schedule Details

Spencer Open to all students, not only theology majors, the signature work in theology course is designed as a capstone experience to integrate a student’s entire college career, bringing fullness of expression to the University’s efforts through the liberal arts core to educate morally responsible leaders who, grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition, think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good. There are two types of signature work in theology: signature work that is focused on contemporary challenges, or signature work that is focused on faith and the professions. Signature work that is focused on contemporary challenges will invite students to conduct research and/or experiential learning around matters of pressing concern according to the instructor’s discretion, such as fostering understanding across lines of religious difference; cultivating interfaith leadership; searching for beauty; establishing justice and peace; or responding to contemporary challenges such as environmental sustainability, immigration, or mass incarceration. Signature work that is focused on vocation may explore the integration of theology with a profession of the instructor’s choosing, such as the management professions, the legal professions, the medical professions, the public health professions, the psychological professions, or the engineering professions. Prerequisites: THEO 100 and a student must have at least 80 credits completed. Schedule Details
