The Religious
Studies minor is one of the most successful on campus, in terms
of enrollment. The program explores the range of phenomena that
fall within the categories "religion" or "religious,"
and it does so from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The
program in Religious Studies brings together perspectives and approaches
from history, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and literature
to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the individuals and
traditions that constitute religions and cultures. |
