Religion
Examine Religion in ways that teach you how to think deeply and critically about your faith.
Religion has played a significant role in our lives since the beginning of time. Along with marking important life events, it encourages us to think critically about the meaning of life and our role in the world.
Your B.A. in Religion will provide you with a balanced and challenging curriculum. Along with courses in the traditional areas of Biblical studies and Christian theology, where you'll examine sacred texts, rituals, and ethics within the Christian tradition, you'll also be encouraged to round out your coursework with minors in art, language, and philosophy or even pursue a double major. You’ll be prepared for further theological study as well as church-related work and a variety of other careers.
