Saint Mary's students usually take RLST 101 in their first year. The
second core (RLST 200-level) is normally taken in the sophomore year.
(a RLST 200-level course also fulfills the Notre Dame requirement for
the
second
course in theology.) Courses 300-499 are appropriate for Saint Mary's
Religious Studies majors and as electives for non-RLST majors who have
completed both of their RLST general education courses. Click on
