Programs of Study
Divisional Structure
In 2001, St. Francis College organized all academic departments into a divisional structure. St. Francis College is organized into four academic divisions: Humanities; Management Science; Sciences, Mathematics, Health Promotions and Health Sciences;, and Social Sciences.
Humanities
Studies within the humanities provide the instruments for an understanding of human knowledge and the means by which this knowledge can be questioned. This intellectual self-determination, the basis upon which a liberal arts education is built, combines an emphasis on the development of the whole person with an understanding of civilization and its foundations. By encompassing so much of human knowledge and experience, courses within the humanities lead students toward intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development within an atmosphere of serious intellectual pursuit, learning, and scholarship.
The division of Humanities has established a series of goals and objectives: to promote intellectual growth and curiosity; to examine modes of communication, means of expression, and ways of thinking; to cultivate critical awareness; to provide a solid grounding in each discipline within the humanities; and to develop an appreciation of human cultures and societies.
Literature, Writing and Publishing
Philosophy and Religious Studies
Management Science
It is the mission of the Management Science division to graduate students of integrity and responsibility with a sound foundation in liberal arts and with the necessary professional courses and skills to acquire and develop a career in business, government, and commerce. The division of Management Science is responsible for developing and offering business-related and professional courses.
Management and Information Technology
Sciences, Mathematics, Health Promotions and Health Sciences
Consistent with the mission, goals, and objectives of St. Francis College, the division of Sciences, Mathematics and Health Promotions and Health Sciences seeks to prepare students of integrity with a sound foundation in liberal arts and the necessary background to succeed in graduate and professional schools as well as in careers in sciences and health fields. The division encompasses four academic departments and numerous pre-health professions programs through external affiliations.
Pre-Health Professions Programs
Social Sciences
The division of Social Sciences educates all students in the basic principles of the social sciences. Through theoretical and empirical study, students learn about society’s institutions and the relationships of individuals and groups within that society as it relates to cultural, historical, political, economic and other factors. An understanding of society and of their own places within it is expected to enhance not only their future careers, but also their ability to participate in and contribute to the society of which they are a part.
