of the diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds which students may bring to a college

literature pertaining to the spiritual development of todays college student as well as an
exploration of the diversity of religious backgrounds students may have. By working
with the Director of Campus Ministry and Spiritual Life an appropriate final project will
be developed. In addition the student will attend the Director of Campus Ministry and
Spiritual Lifes course on World Religions which meets three times a week; an additional
hour per week will be spent meeting with regards to the integration of the material
learned. A grade will be submitted upon the completion of the final project and
