Minor in Religious Studies

The minor in Religious Studies is an interdisciplinary program that draws from faculty and courses from several departments. It is designed to provide a framework for systematic academic study of religion. Students who meet the program requirements gain an understanding of some of the main ideas found in the world's religions and learn how a variety of academic disciplines approach the objective study of religion from diverse perspectives. The program is useful to students who are personally interested in learning more about religion as a part of their general education as well as to those students who plan careers which are religiously oriented.
