The Department of Religious Studies offers courses that explore the many dimensions of religious history, experience, culture, and doctrine. We offer both a major and a minor field of study as well as minors in Christian Studies and Catholic Studies. In taking these courses students discover the central role played by religion in human civilization and learn to think, speak, and write thoughtfully and critically about that role.
