Course Requirements

The curriculum of the C.O.R.E. program is grounded in the 4 major components of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992).  Each course module is delivered online over a period of 5 weeks.  Grades are awarded on a pass/fail basis.  Participants earn 1 continuing education unit (ceu) for each module successfully completed.

The School of Continuing Education offers its CORE program courses online using a computer platform called ANGEL (A New Global Environment for Learning). Because classes do not meet at regularly scheduled times, there is a heightened need for students to take the initiative in logging on frequently in order to keep pace.
