We are within walking distance of South Bend, IN or a

short drive from many other cities in northern Indiana.

In the fall, on our northern Indiana campus, you will be

able to watch red maples, pin oaks, and dozens of other

varieties of trees, as they change from the lush greens of

summer to the rich reds and yellows that signal autumn.

All freshmen arrive early for Welcome Weekend!

You’ll have the opportunity to connect with other

new students, meet faculty members and get

comfortable with your new home before classes start.

In winter, experience activities such as cross-country

skiing, ice hockey, ice skating, and even snow tubing!

Enjoy spring with Art’s Day, and don’t miss reading the

Cauldron, our arts magazine, or acting in the annual

drama production.

The Value of Experience

Don’t let the cost of a private

education scare you away from

Holy Cross College. Our tuition

and fees place us among the most

affordable private schools in the

United States. What’s more, the

value of personal attention from

caring mentors, a 13:1 student/

teacher ratio, and experiences

you won’t find anywhere else,

make this one of today’s truly

exceptional values in higher

education. More than 70 percent

of our students receive some form

of financial aid, we hope you will

consider applying and let us show

you how affordable Holy Cross

College can be.

As a Holy Cross student, you’ll have all the advantages of a small college—professors will know you by

your first name. Professional librarians at our McKenna Library will give you individualized research help.

You will be able to take one-on-one guitar and piano lessons with our music professor. You can get

individualized help with your fitness at the Pfeil Recreation Center. And, you can get personally involved

in all the activities on campus from student government, to arts publications, to campus ministry, to

athletics, to whatever you want to accomplish! At Holy Cross, we encourage everyone to be involved.

You’ll cheer on your own Holy Cross Saints in soccer, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, hockey, and

more. But you can also join the Holy Cross cheering section on football Saturday to cheer on the

Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame.

If our campus ever starts to feel small, you can walk to St. Mary’s College or the University of Notre Dame

to sit in a coffee shop, visit friends, see a play, or take in a lecture.

Catch a South Bend city bus and you can see minor league baseball at Coveleski Stadium, go shopping

at the mall in Mishawaka, or see a Broadway production at the Morris Performing Arts Center. And for a

weekend getaway, the great city of Chicago is a short trip on the South Shore Railroad. Arriving in Millen-

nium Park, you can walk north along the Magnificent Mile or south to the museum campus. Take in a

concert, a ballgame, or a matinee play then catch the late train back to South Bend.

We’re

a small

college

in a big

college

town!

With five colleges and universities within a five mile radius, there is

always something to do in this big college town.

As you can see, Holy Cross College, St. Mary’s and

Notre Dame share many things in common,

especially our commitment to Catholic education.

Historically, Catholics have been instrumental in

developing many of the great colleges and

universities throughout the world as well as

developing many of the great ideas of Western

civilization. Philosophers, scholars, and artists

of the Renaissance such as Descartes, Copernicus,

Chaucer, Da Vinci, Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, and

Cervantes and of the modern era—Pasteur, Picasso,

Matisse, Hemingway, Joyce, Fitzgerald—were all

practicing Catholics.

Holy Cross College is a place where young Catholics

can come to grow in their faith, where they can find

daily Mass on campus, participate in the sacraments,

sing in the choir, perform works of service, and

form friendships with others who share their love

of God and Church.

Holy Cross College is also a place where individuals

of all faiths and beliefs can find a well-rounded,

Distinctly CatholicOpen to all…

“I have definitely grown in my faith since coming here. Daily mass gives me a

time to talk to God, and meeting with my fellow Mission Team friends once a

week helps me to know that I am part of a community of people who care

about me.” —Sara Proctor ’11

disciplined college education. Anyone who is open

to a rigorous college experience that includes

learning about the history and ideas of Christian

faith (essentially the last 2,000 years of Western

Civilization) will find a home at Holy Cross College.

Opened in 1966 by the Brothers of the Holy Cross, we

are inspired by their founder, Blessed Basil Moreau,

a leading educator of his time. His philosophy of

relationship-based education is still very alive and

present today. In fact, our professors try to be more

than just teachers for our students—they aspire to

be mentors.

Holy Cross College is all about forming relationships that

help you succeed. Fr. Moreau formed his schools around

the concept of family. By developing relationships with

professors, we believe that the educational experience

will be richer and more fulfilling for our students.

For Holy Cross College educators, the success of each

student is something we take personally.

Experience

The mission of Holy Cross College is to educate the whole

person—body, mind, and spirit. When you choose to come to

Holy Cross, you choose to participate in programs that will help

you think critically, help you explore your faith and spirituality,

help you understand the world in greater depth, and help you

begin to find your place in it. We are certain that the experiences

you gain by completing your studies at Holy Cross will make

you stand out from the crowd.

Today, more than ever, there is an emphasis

on the practicality of a college education.

Will you be prepared for the workforce? Will

you qualify for acceptance into graduate

school programs? Will you be qualified to

achieve your goals? A Holy Cross College

education is the answer to these questions.

However, more importantly for you—will

you ultimately be satisfied with your

achievements? Will you be ready to enter

a profession with a passion for your work

and certainty that comes from knowing

what you want to do, how you want to do

it, and why?

At Holy Cross College, the major you choose

is only the beginning. All of our degree

programs are designed so that you will

enter a practical, four-year educational

experience in the liberal arts tradition. The

core curriculum is designed to improve your

mind, develop your moral judgment,

broaden your perspective, and enhance

your leadership—qualities every

employer wants.

From the beginning, you will have a faculty

advisor who will get to know you and be

your personal guide and mentor for the

first two years. After that, you will select

an advisor who is an expert in your field

of study.

You will also have the resources of our

Center for Discernment and Preparation

at your service. This office helps you not

only find an internship, but provides

guidance and resources to research

professions, discover your interests,

and decide your future whether it be

business, law, education, military service,

entrepreneurship, politics, health care fields,

non-profit enterprise, or religious life.

We understand you have four years

to make life decisions that will affect the

course of your future. We take our role in

this process very seriously. That is why our

classes are small, so we will get to know

you individually. This is why we require

experiential programs, so that you learn

by doing and experience the practices

and principles of your future profession,

not just the theory.

Study elementary education

in order to prepare yourself

for the noble work of

educating our youth.

You will gain practical

experience in primary

grade classrooms and

prepare yourself to gain

your teaching license.

The goal of the Teacher

Education program at

Holy Cross College is to

create competent teachers

who have compassionate

hearts and who are ready to

take on the responsibility

of being positive role

models capable of

transforming the lives of

their future students.

Holy Cross College elemen-

tary education teachers are

passionate, lifelong learners

who see teaching as their

vocation. They follow in the

tradition of the Brothers

of Holy Cross who were

founded as a teaching

order. A child’s future is

affected by the quality

of education he or she

receives. Your impact as

educator will be strongly

correlated with the quality

of the education you

receive at Holy Cross

College. When you receive

your degree, you can be

certain you will have the

skills and experience to

ensure your students will

remember you as a

teacher who made a

difference for them.

Holy Cross College

A business major or

concentration is excellent

preparation for any career.

You will not only be ready

to lead in the commercial,

financial, nonprofit, or

government sector, but

the skills you gain will be

valuable in any field you

choose to pursue.

With classes in accounting,

economics, communication,

business law and ethics, you

will be prepared to assume

a leadership role wherever

you may be headed after

graduation.

Even if your interests lie

outside of the traditional

business arena, the skills

you will develop while

pursuing this major can be

invaluable. All students are

required to complete an

Internship Experience.

In the past, students have

worked with U.S. Senators,

CEOs, doctors, lawyers, and

other influential decision

makers within their commu-

nities and our world.

Now, as I near my degree, I hope to one day have the

impact on my students that my professors have had on me.”

Psychology is the science

of mental processes and

human behavior. The study

of psychology will allow you a

wonderful opportunity to

bridge the gap between

humanities and the sciences.

You will have the option to

take courses that introduce

you to basic principles of

human behavior, including

conditioning, development,

personality, learning, and

adjustment. Additional

courses include Social

Psychology, where you will

study group behavior and

attitude formation;

Abnormal Psychology, where

you will familiarize

yourself with the different

approaches to understanding,

preventing, and treating

mental disorders; Educational

Psychology where you will

explore psychological

concepts as they relate to the

teaching/ learning process.

You may also want to take a

multi-disciplinary course such

as Social Gerontology where

you will undertake the study

of aging with a focus on

social issues.

You will prepare for careers

in healthcare related fields,

human resources, business,

or you may also consider

continuing your studies in

graduate school. The

experiences you gain by

studying this discipline at

Holy Cross College will

mean that any goal you set

that includes working with

people is within your reach.

y One reason you may choose

to attend Holy Cross College

is because you understand

that faith and spirituality are

integral to your success in

life. Holy Cross College takes

very seriously its mission

to educate our students

especially in the Catholic

faith and theological

tradition.

Theology majors develop a

deep understanding of ethics

that will guide them whether

they choose careers in law,

business, economics, public

administration, or find their

calling in the ministry.

The study of theology will

prepare you to be a leader

of your religious community,

your business community, or

your hometown. You will

explore your own personal

experience of Christianity and

how religion impacts the rest

of the world.

You will take courses such as

Church History, Theological

Anthropology, Introduction

to Moral Theology, Christ

and the Trinity, and Catholic

Social Teaching, along with

many other courses designed

to inform you and enrich your

experience of Christianity.Hol

at Holy Cross College, you

learn to make sense of the

by closely examining our

past. A history major or

concentration is excellent

preparation for a political

career, entry into law school,

or for a career in education,

publishing, or business.

Some topics that you

might study include the

development of the polis

the rise and fall of the Roman

Empire; Medieval Europe; the

Black Death and the Hundred

When we ask our students why they chose to come to Holy Cross College,

we hear a variety of answers: I want to be a lawyer; I want to run my own

business; I want to make a difference in my community. But, the one answer

that seems to underlie all others is that our students come to Holy Cross

College for the experience.

Holy Cross College is unique in that, in order to graduate with a bachelor’s

degree, every student must complete four experiential programs.

LearningExperiential

48642_HCC Viewbook Resized 5/21/09 11:33 AM Page 14

Page 17: Holy Cross College Viewbook

1. The Service Learning ExperienceThe Brothers of Holy Cross embrace a spirit of outreach, charity, and

involvement. In keeping with this spirit, every student accomplishes a Service

Learning Experience. This experience

provides the insight that one of the best

parts of living comes from contributing

your skills, effort, and understanding to

others. In working for others, students

learn more about themselves, their hopes

for the future, their talents, and potentially

their vocation.

You may want to be a “big brother or

sister” to a child in need of a positive

role model. Volunteer in a local health clinic to learn the impact of disease

in your community, build a home with Habitat for Humanity, or volunteer

in a Catholic Charities soup kitchen or clothing drive. Our students have

taught reading and math on Indian reservations, tutored students in the

South Bend community, cared for the sick and elderly in hospice centers, and

volunteered to deliver food and toys during the holidays just to name a few.

The Service Learning Experience is much more important than just a resume

builder. The program is designed to teach leadership and instill in Holy

Cross College students a sense of responsibility to their community and a

sense of duty that will stay with them long after graduation.

The Global Immersion Experience has impacted

everything else I have studied at Holy Cross

College. Once you gain the perspective

of yourself as a member of a global community,

everything else in your life is affected by it.

2. The Global Immersion Experience While the small class sizes and personal relationships that you develop

with classmates and professors are but two of the great benefits of

attending Holy Cross College, the College also has a mission to develop

students who are knowledgeable about their position in the world

community and are concerned about their impact upon it. This is why

every student working toward a bachelor of arts degree must complete

a Global Immersion Experience.

You will travel abroad under the care of Holy Cross Brothers at retreat

centers in Ghana, Peru, Mexico, or India.

Before you leave, you will study the history, mission, and traditions of the

country you’ll be visiting. And once you arrive, be prepared to see the world

in a whole new light!

Ghana

You may want to head to Ghana where you’ll be able to

explore the infamous coastal slave castle. You will learn

about the slave trade and its impact on US history while also

being able to discuss the Ghanaian perspective of the slave

trade with local experts.

You will be able to visit the Kakum Rain Forest and

experience its Canopy Walk, a tour that will literally

take you to the treetops!

Peru

The Congregation of Holy Cross operates one of the largest

parishes in the world in Lima, Peru—a congregation of over

200,000 people! You will help the Brothers teach English,

or help repair a local chapel. Take time to hike in Andes

Mountains and explore the Inca ruins at Macchu Picchu,

explore the Presidential Palace in “El Centro” in downtown

Lima. Practice your Spanish as you learn about the people,

their rich culture, their economic conditions, and their

devotion to spirituality.

India

In India, you will be able to explore cities like Delhi and

Bangalore. In your studies, you will consider issues of

poverty and study the subsistence farmers who make

their livings alongside the growing economies in the cities.

Ride in a bicycle taxi to visit the Taj Mahal and learn about

its construction, the ancient culture, and vibrant faith of

Indian citizens.

Mexico

In Monterrey, you will learn about the rich cultural

heritage of Mexican Catholicism, devotion to Our Lady

of Guadalupe, and the celebrations of Las Posadas.

Students choosing the Global Immersion Experience in

Mexico will explore issues of poverty and justice and study

the background of Mexican immigrants in the United States.

Take in the breathtaking views of nearby Cerro de La Silla

(Saddleback Mountain) or browse the collection at the

Museum of Mexican history.

3. The Professional InternshipThrough the Lilly Center for Discernment and Preparation, students complete a thorough

examination of their goals, skills, faith, and personality traits to discover if what they want to be

is a good fit with who they are and what they will be good at. Do you really have the patience

to be a teacher? Are you self-disciplined enough for a career in law? Does the opportunity to

lead give you confidence? Is the up and down competition of business something that makes

you nervous or enthusiastic? Do you like to solve the puzzles of technology?

It is a common experience for many college students to realize that the dreams of their childhood

are not necessarily the careers of adulthood. As you mature and discover new talents or grow in

new directions, you begin to realize the relationship between career and calling.

Through the Professional Internship, you can try on a career before you accept a job. We have

had students take internships as Congressional aides, TV producers, marketing assistants, healthcare

counselors, student teachers, construction supervisors, automobile designers, and in military

officer training.

When students are considering their careers, we want them to

satisfy their own interests while at the same time bringing in an

element of faith to the their decisions and their work experience…

this translates to a rich experience that they will remember

for their entire lives.

—Daniel Haverty, Director, Center for Discernment and Preparation

4. The Capstone PresentationAttending Holy Cross College is life changing. The Capstone Presentation allows you to share with

your peers, faculty, family, and community and business leaders the ways in which your experience

has changed you. You will deliver a 45-minute multi-media presentation that discusses college

coursework, service experiences, Global Immersion Experiences, internship and work experiences,

as well as the people and relationships that have changed your life. You will reflect on college and

look forward to post college options and how what you have learned has shaped your

decision-making process.

College can be time of profound change. The Capstone Project helps you make sense of these

changes, synthesize what you have learned, and it allows you to prove to yourself, as well as your

Capstone Evaluation Committee, that you are ready to take the next step in your life.

which provides many challenging opportunities

for competition. The men’s golf team participates

in the Notre Dame Invitational where they face

some of the best collegiate golfers in the country.

The men’s Hockey Club participates in the ACHA

(American College Hockey Association), and their

home ice is the Icebox in South Bend.

The Men’s and Women’s basketball teams are

excited to play on the new court in the

Pfeil Recreation Center. Participating in

the athletics program at Holy Cross College

offers a very rich experience. You

will learn to set and achieve

goals for yourself and

learn to participate as a

member of a team. You

might achieve a personal

best or help bring your team from behind to a

spectacular victory. You will take the lessons from

the field or on the court back to the classroom

and with you into your life after graduation.
