Religious studies is a major designed to provide students with the methodology
used to study religion as a fundamental human experience and to introduce
students to the history of western and non-western religious traditions. The major
in religious studies consists of ten courses including the five required core
courses. The core courses include an introduction to the methodologies used in
the study of religion, a basic course in the foundations of each of the three major
religious traditions of the western world; (Greco-Roman religion, Judaism, and
Christianity) and a course in non-Western religion. The remaining five courses
should be selected from the list of electives and must include one course at or
above the 400 level.
A minor in religious studies consists of a minimum of five core courses.
