Programs of Study — Irish Studies

The university regularly offers Irish Studies courses in literature, art history, history, and political science, and hopes to be adding Irish Studies courses and courses with significant Irish content in other disciplines. Such courses may count toward an appropriate major or minor, including the International Studies major or minor, or as electives. LIT 3184, Introduction to Irish Literature and Culture, has been approved as a foreign culture course. POS 2932, Irish-American Politics and Culture, has been approved as a cultural diversity course.

Each fall and spring semester a variety of public events — lectures, concerts, poetry readings, symposia, etc. — are offered in the John Francis Reilly Irish Studies Performance and Lecture Series. To encourage the inclusion of Irish Studies content in courses within any appropriate discipline, John Francis Reilly Irish Studies Fellowships are periodically awarded to faculty. Each spring the Moriarty Prize of $250 is awarded at the university convocation to the undergraduate student whose work in Irish Studies, in any academic discipline, has been judged most outstanding.
