Religious Studies is a far-reaching interdisciplinary subject utilizing diverse methodologies to analyze world religions, human spirituality and religious phenomena. Our curriculum includes the major global traditions as well as newly emerging spiritualities and belief systems. We explore the artistic, ethical, historical, psychological, and social dimensions of religions, as well as the influence of religions on sexuality, gender, race, health, ecology, public policy and social justice.<br><br>Religious studies majors develop strong analytic, communication and creative skills useful in an increasingly globalized economy where more and more people with different beliefs are coming together. We promote critical thinking and informed conversation as well as experiential learning such as study abroad and internships.
