Religion is and always has been a central feature of human life, for individuals and communities. The interdisciplinary field of Religious Studies enables students to approach it from different perspectives: philosophical, historical, political, sociological, anthropological and literary.

5 courses (15 hours), completed with a grade of C or better, courses in at least 2 distinct areas or disciplines, and at least 2 at the 3000-level or higher. Eligible courses already taken can count toward the degree.
