Irish Studies Minor
With its interdisciplinary focus on Irish literature, culture and politics as well as the problematics of immigration, migration and diaspora, Saint Joseph’s University’s Irish Studies program is an exceptional platform from which to investigate issues of diversity, globalization and social justice.
After registering with the program coordinator, students earn the Irish Studies minor by completing any six approved courses. Irish and Ireland-related courses taken while studying abroad may also count towards the minor, upon approval by the program coordinator.
Goal 1: Understand Ireland’s complex present and past through multiple disciplinary perspectives.
Goal 2: Demonstrate understanding of Irish culture and its contexts.
Goal 3: Employ primary and secondary sources (including digital resources) appropriate for the study of Ireland.
