Mount St. Mary’s University offers upper-level non-Western courses in various disciplines as part of the senior core requirement, to enhance major and minor programs, and to expand the general choice of electives. Students may take non-Western courses at any time—as early as the freshman year. Students may not take a non-Western studies course for core credit, however, until junior year at the earliest.

For further information, consult the director of non-Western studies or any professors who offer non-Western courses.
