Religious Studies

  • focuses on forms of religious life and religious expression,
  • raises basic issues about human experience, and
  • challenges the student's ability to understand and interpret texts and practices.

Majoring in religious studies, or taking religious studies courses, not only provides valuable appreciation for careers in business, counseling, education, government, journalism, law, ministry, medicine, and social work, but also contributes to individual and social enrichment through expanding an appreciative awareness of one's own religious tradition and those of others.
