What specific degree must all Freshwomen take at Xavier?

The requirement for all Freshwomen at Xavier to take a Theology course stems from the institution's commitment to its Catholic heritage and mission. Theology classes offer students the opportunity to explore fundamental questions related to faith, morality, and spirituality, which are core to the university's values and philosophy. This emphasizes not just an academic standard but also a holistic approach to education that considers personal and ethical development alongside professional growth. By engaging in Theology, students can develop critical thinking skills related to profound life questions and societal issues, which is an integral part of the Xavier experience for all Freshwomen.

In contrast, while Health Studies, Statistics, and Psychology may be valuable subjects, they are not universally required for all Freshwomen, making Theology the unique requirement in this context.
