结构化的探索

The 小 in 信仰、和平与正义 Studies offers a structure for an interdisciplinary program of study around issues of urgent concern for justice and 和平.

The general form for the FPJ minor program is six courses: two required courses and four electives.

I. General Introduction - THEO/PHIL 2160/1160 Challenge of 正义

(必修3学分)

这门课 presents the alternative understandings of justice and 和平 that have developed in the philosophical and theological traditions. The course serves as an introduction to a broad range of justice and 和平 issues and is the common course for all FPJ program participants.

II. 结构化的探索 of Student’s Interest or Concern

(4 electives for a minimum of 12 credits)

An important feature of the FPJ minor is its flexibility in meeting the interest of the student by creating a “cluster” of elective courses reflecting the student’s particular 和平/justice concern. Here are some examples of clustering electives around a common theme for justice, 和平, 或者职业道德问题. The "clusters" of electives cited below are offered as illustrations of the many possible elective clusters open to students within the FPJ minor. When there are more than four courses under a specific cluster topic the student should select four courses of their choosing. Students are encouraged to design their own elective cluster around topics of urgency and interest. Other themes and other relevant clusters are possible and encouraged with the advice of the program director.

这门课, taken in spring of the senior year, offersthe students the opportunity to draw together into a formal 信仰、和平与正义 final writing project or piece of signature work the results of the exploration in the four elective courses. The Seminar is designed to help students develop the skills needed to present their ideas and concerns in public discussion and debate.
