Is there a Middle East?
Have you ever stopped to question this term? The region is in the middle of what? And to the east of whom? Does the name immediately bring to mind images of conflict and war?
Medieval Studies Minor
Explore the human condition
The Medieval Studies minor offers the opportunity to address a variety of questions about the Middle Ages as well as about our own time: Why did thousands of Christian soldiers march off to uncertain wars against the "infidels" in the Crusades? How does an understanding of these holy wars enable us to think about conflicts fought over competing religious ideologies today? How does an understanding of medieval antifeminism assist our analysis of modern sexual inequality and discrimination?
Catholic Studies Minor
Welcome to the Catholic Studies Program
The Catholic Studies Program at Loyola University in New Orleans, in the words of Pope Francis, provides students with “an integral ecology lived out joyfully and authentically.” An “integral ecology” is a harmonized and integrated way of looking at all of reality, of “finding God in all things.” Catholic Studies does not simply provide students with an opportunity to study Catholic things, but enables them to study all things in a Catholic way, and to arrive at an integrated Catholic understanding of reality.
