The minor in Religious Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of religion in its many forms and aspects. To the variety of religious traditions, both living and historical, the program brings the techniques and questions of philosophy, history, literature, and the social sciences. Designed for flexibility in meeting students’ interests and needs, the Religious Studies program offers a minor and a variety of electives useful for broadening one’s knowledge of religious phenomena, for supplementing the major program in many related fields of humanities and social science, and for meeting general education requirements.
