专业将增强对文化多样性和世界观多样性的理解。反过来，国际和历史的观点将为学生对自己的文化的理解提供更广阔的背景，并为国际关系，发展和商业方面的职业做好准备。毕业后，宗教专业的学生与其他人文科学专业的工作比例大致相同。对大多数学生而言，主修宗教并不是通往宗教职业的途径，主修英语只会导致成为小说家，诗人或文学评论家。我们的专业继续在各个领域从事职业，包括非营利性工作，教育，法律，社会工作，医学，商业/金融，事工和研究生院。
The Department for the Study of Religions at Wake Forest is a community of passionate scholars and students devoted to the exploration and analysis of religion as a central aspect of human culture and history. When you study religion, you engage with the deepest motivations and values of individuals and institutions--in the past and in the present. Together with amazing professors, students wrestle with ethical questions, reconstruct religious histories, examine interdisciplinary intersections, and develop their own set of analytical skills. We offer a diverse range of courses, a graduate program, an honors program, a concentration in Religion & Public Engagement, scholarly lectures, and a vibrant community of learners, all of which provide students with an exciting and holistic way to experience Religious Studies and prepare to engage the world in a variety of meaningful ways.
