Religious Studies Course List
Taking classes in religion offers you the opportunity to develop a sympathetic and critical understanding of the major world religions. We live in a diverse and pluralistic world where religious faiths exist not in isolation from one another, but in close proximity and contact. Even in South Carolina, the mixing of religious cultures is not a future possibility, but a present reality. Living well in such a world entails that we understand religion in all its diversity.
Taking classes in religious studies at CCU cultivates many skills that serve students well in any career they happen to pursue, such as critical thinking, textual analysis, debating skills, curiosity, open-mindedness, ethics, decision making, and understanding other cultures and ways of life.
