Religious Studies - Undergraduate Minor

The Undergraduate Minor in Religious Studies introduces students to the diversity and history of religious experiences enabling them to evaluate critically the roles religion plays in cultures of the world. Students engage with the study of religion across disciplines including Anthropology, Art History, History, Native American Studies, Government, History, Native American Studies, and Sociology. The curriculum covers archaeological evidence of religion, new religious movements, religious iconography, forms of religious organization, politics and religion, and religious violence. The minor is particularly appropriate for students who pursue careers impacted by religious practices and beliefs such as health professions, legal careers, government agencies, religious vocations, and charitable organizations.
