Learning Outcomes

Students will:

possess a general understanding of several religious traditions or movements, understand and evaluate the critical role that religion plays within culture, develop critical thinking skills by analyzing and evaluating concepts and arguments, develop the ability to communicate effectively in writing and speech, and access and interpret religious information in a digital world.

Overview

The major in religious studies enables students to develop the critical skills and strengths to thrive in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. Religions and religious ideas are connected to every aspect of modern life and culture, so the major is designed to allow students to tailor it to fit their personal goals or interests. Many students choose to earn a second major or minor in related disciplines such as anthropology, biology, classics, English, history, journalism and mass communication, philosophy, political science, or psychology.

The Bachelor of Arts with a major in religious studies requires at least 30 s.h. of course work. Students must maintain a 2.00 g.p.a. in all courses for the major. With the approval of the department’s undergraduate committee, up to 15 s.h. of transfer credit may be counted toward the major.

Because religion and religious traditions impact every aspect of culture and society, a major in religious studies prepares students for many different career choices. As the world becomes more and more interconnected, employers look for people who have experience with different cultures and religious backgrounds. Religious studies majors also develop critical thinking, speaking, and writing skills that prepare them for employment and for pursuing an advanced academic degree.

Religious studies majors have gone on to careers in media and communication, social work, nursing, public health, government, and nonprofit organizations. They also have pursued advanced degrees in the humanities, social sciences, law, and medical professions.
