Students will be expected to demonstrate proficiency in any language or technical facility deemed necessary for successful completion of the thesis.

The Department of Religious Studies is pleased to offer a Master of Arts degree. It is designed for those who have a first degree in religious studies, and who want to engage in the advanced study of religion, or who want to pursue an academic career in research and teaching.
