Once you complete the required course work for a Minor in Theology and Religious Studies, Villanova University recognizes the Minor degree at the time of graduation on your official transcript. We encourage you to come to our office in the Saint Augustine Center, Room 107, to discuss your particular interests and plan your course work.
