Special Presidential Honors Seminar
HSLS 201: The Virtues (President John H. Garvey) Fulfills a Humanities requirement Wednesday and Friday, 3:40pm-4:55pm This course explores the rich tradition of the virtues
and vices using a multidisciplinary approach. Course materials will survey the presentation of virtues across a number of media, including art, music, literature, theology, philosophy, film, and television. Much of the course will be structured around the classical division of the virtues into the cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) and theological virtues (faith, hope, and charity).
Theology Track

TRS 201 + 3 of the HSTR courses (101, 102, 203, or 204) qualifies for Honors in Theology.
