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, with courses in: philosophy, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, visual arts, music, and literature. 

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.

Courses can be found each semester on the Class Schedule under “Religious Studies” (RLST) as well as in listings of particular departments. Examples of courses eligible for the RLST Minor:
