 Because
of the broad scope and interdisciplinary nature of religious studies,
this major serves as a powerful integrating center of liberal arts
education.
-
In
a world of rapid cultural change, Religious Studies gives you
opportunities to think through your world-view, your values, and
your relationship to tradition.
-
In
a world in which intercultural understanding is of ever-growing
importance, religious studies offers profound encounters with
other people's ways of imagining, thinking, and living.
-
In
a world of questions that must be treated synthetically, combining
insights from different paths of knowledge, religious studies
offers extensive practice in drawing insights from the arts, humanities,
and social and natural sciences.
Religious
Studies courses also may be taken to prepare for future activity in
religious professions, law, social service, scholarship, in the humanities
and social sciences, teaching (at all levels), international relations,
and journalism. The Religious Studies major is an appropriate undergraduate
concentration for most forms of postgraduate study. Students wishing
to go further in the field may seek Master's and Ph.D. degrees in
Religious Studies or seminary degrees.
