This course looks more closely into the 1991 papal encyclical Ex Corde Ecclesiae (from the heart of the church) about the role of Catholic universities in the life of the Church and of the world and its effect on Catholic universities in America.
This is a course for new faculty and staff at Dominican universities, containing basic information about Catholic and Dominican approaches to higher education, the history of the Order of Preachers, and the Dominican family in the United States.
