普林斯顿大学长期以来一直致力于将宗教（如政治或艺术）视为重要的生活领域，并在课程中得到系统的关注。半个多世纪以来，这方面的主要教学职责已委托人文部门的宗教部负责。我们的职责是尽力检查宗教生活，在不同文化和历史时期采取的多种形式，以及对理论，伦理和政治思考提出的问题。作为人文部门，我们呼吁邻近学科采用相同的历史和哲学奖学金标准。宗教专业为选民提供了学习多种文化，民族，文本和意识形态的机会。例如非裔美国人宗教，中日佛教文学，诺斯替福音，古以色列，现代犹太思想，历史和当代美国宗教，宗教哲学，宗教和哲学伦理，政治
Religion permeates diverse aspects of human culture, from literature and the arts to law, philosophy, and politics. Faculty of the Religion Department explore a wide range of traditions and topics through an interdisciplinary array of methodologies. The concentration in Religion enables students to develop advanced proficiency in the examination of religious phenomena from a multidisciplinary perspective that includes the study of texts, historical contexts, material culture, philosophical ideas, and everyday practices. Concentrators in Religion develop excellence in connecting the methodologies of religious studies to larger conceptual themes and questions in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. The purpose of the concentration is to analyze religion as an integral and critical aspect of human life, past and present. The study of religion demands rigorous and robust training in critical research skills such as philosophical investigation, historical research, discourse analysis and ethnography. A concentration in religion equips students with research tools and modes of inquiry that are applicable to a variety of different fields, both during and after their undergraduate careers. Princeton Religion concentrators have gone on to careers in (for example) academia, activist work, business, entertainment,<br>fine arts, government, international diplomacy, journalism, law, medicine, the non-profit sector, and public service.
