Courses in religion are designed to train students in the critical examination of traditions, doctrines, rituals, literature, and cultures of a wide variety of belief systems. The student is introduced to critical and survey methodologies in Biblical studies and the investigation of ancient and modern belief systems.
The religion curriculum is intended to function as a preparation for professional schools as well as a general enhancement of the liberal education. The religious beliefs, traditions, and practices of all faiths are treated with academic respect.
All religion courses listed count toward a minor in religion. A minor consists of a minimum of 15 credit hours in religion. These include two required courses and three electives.
