The Division Curriculum

The Spiritan Division student should have completed at least 33 credits by the end of the freshman year, including:
  • A mandatory five-week summer semester
  • A selection of courses from the University Core Curriculum, i.e., courses that all Duquesne students must complete.
  • Division curriculum requirements, i.e., courses that the Division student must complete before transferring to the College or one of the schools.

Division students build a sense of community through social events. Here they're engaged in a team building exercise.

Field Experience

The Division curriculum includes a field experience course that satisfies the University service learning requirement and brings Division students face to face with local elementary, middle, and high school youngsters.
