Religious Studies

Underlying most human endeavors – whether politics, business, medicine, psychology, family life and personal fulfillment-is a complex array of religious beliefs, spiritual yearning and existential questions. The study of Religion explores the religious beliefs, actions and cultural practices of individuals and communities across the world and throughout history.

About

The study of religious traditions explores the religious beliefs, actions, and cultural practices of individuals and communities across the world and throughout history. In the course of their studies, our students gain an intercultural literacy and an appreciation for the world views of other peoples and communities, as well as their own. Religious Studies courses approach the study of religion from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students are invited to critically consider the spiritual, historical, literary, ethical, doctrinal, psychological, contemplative, and social dimensions of religious people and practice.
