Religious Studies
Religious studies is the study of the development of religious beliefs and practices across time and cultures. You will learn about the history of the most influential texts in world, how religion impacts public and private life, as well as the role of religions in shaping cultures past and present. And since religions are central to all human societies and often a driving force behind significant historical transformations, studying religion enables you to become more engaged and informed global citizens prepared for a variety of careers. As a religious studies major, you can choose Religion in Public Life or Textual Studies as your concentration.
