Academics

The courses taken as part of Saint Louis University's Micah Program go beyond papers and exams. Each course fosters community and connects SLU's academics with real-world problems.

Micah Courses for First-Year Students

During the fall and spring semesters, you will take two to three Micah-section courses that fulfill University core requirements. These special sections of interdisciplinary courses will deepen your ability to think critically about social justice issues that affect our local and global communities. Since enrollment is limited, classes are small, allowing participants to work closely with their instructors and peers. 

Faculty members who teach Micah-section courses are chosen for their interest in the American city's problems, their experience and effectiveness as teachers, and their dedication to social equity, justice and peace.
