Understanding religion is essential to understanding the world. Eighty-four percent of the global population is religious, and every day, individuals and communities are guided by deeply held religious convictions.
Our religious studies program will teach you about religions across different cultures. You’ll learn to think critically about religion, and you’ll come to recognize the pervasive influences of religion throughout history, in current events and in cultural expressions of every kind, from advertising to sports to politics.
You’ll gain insights into human cultures at a deep level, giving you a powerful perspective that you can apply as a leader and problem solver. Your knowledge and cultural literacy will prepare you to excel in a wide range of careers, including diplomacy, human services, education and international commerce.
