Program Description:
The interdisciplinary program in religious studies investigates the roles, meanings, history and phenomenology of religion. Some courses (for the most part those offered through the theology department) focus on the religious traditions themselves, their classical texts, historical figures and movements, conceptual and affectual concerns, ethical and social teachings, cultural and political impacts. Other courses (for the most part those offered by other departments) identify the significance of religion and of religious ideas and symbolism within the wider world of history, society, literature, and the arts.
All students interested in majoring, second majoring, or minoring in religious studies should discuss their interests with the director. In consultation with the director, each student will develop a program of study. It is important to note that the courses listed Religious Studies Courses page are only representative of the choices available. Consultation with the director is necessary in order for students to have full access to other courses that fulfill major, second major, and minor requirements.
