Religious Studies Academic Programs
Religious Studies equips students to understand the religious, cultural, and historical contexts that form the contemporary and future world. Students are challenged to contemplate belief-systems in an international landscape, to enrich and value their faith, and to consider how politics, economics, environment, law, foreign affairs, humanitarian programs, and educational institutions are deeply affected and influenced by religion.
