Core Courses
St. Kate's core courses provide a broad-based, liberal arts foundation, with a special emphasis on communication and information technology for all undergraduate students.
Class sizes are small, allowing an environment for meaningful discussion amongst the professor and fellow students.
Self-discovery begins in the first year during the required course The Reflective Woman, in which students focus on themselves and their role in the world.
In the junior or senior year, students explore justice and injustice and how it applies to today's society in The Global Search for Justice course.
