Religion

When you study religion, you examine how specific cultural aspects have shaped humanity’s quest for meaning and come to see how a culture’s spiritual beliefs and traditions hold the key to that culture’s worldview. 

In our religious studies program, you’ll learn about history, literature and various religions while forming educated opinions through discussion and critical thinking. Our thoughtful, engaged instructors encourage you to explore and ask questions about the religious, textual and ethical aspects of all cultures.
