Lenses for Examining the Questions

In creating the core curriculum, the faculty has been guided by the University of Portland’s place in the history of Catholic higher education and by its contemporary mission. Therefore, the faculty requires that students use the following courses as the lenses through which to begin their study of the fundamental life questions introduced by the core curriculum.

The upper division theology course may be a Theological Perspectives class that can be used to satisfy the distribution requirements of both theology and a companion subject.
