The curriculum will focus particularly on the problem of social exclusion, which is being exacerbated by the issues of a declining birthrate, low fertility, and aging trends, as well as by globalization, students examine effective methods of addressing such issues from the fundamental perspective of the sanctity of life. In addition, students may obtain certification as social researchers.
