Bachelor of Arts in Global Religions and Cultures

Program Overview

The Global Religions and Cultures major empowers students to analyze diverse worldviews, traditions and value systems.

In a world that is increasingly pluralistic, ideologically driven and globally connected, skills in cross-cultural understanding and the interpretation of complex data are more important than ever. Students of many different religious identities, and none, thrive in our courses. The Global Religions and Cultures major applies to a wide variety of career fields, including business, law, education, health, intelligence analysis, non-profit leadership and more.

The Global Religions and Cultures major requires 33 credit hours, including three core courses and one capstone seminar. Students majoring in Global Religions and Cultures have the opportunity to create their own custom concentrations, if they choose, by completing four or more courses in a focused area of study. For example, students might choose to concentrate in Christian Studies, Indian Religions, Religion in Africa, Religion and Society, Spirituality and Health, Pre-professional Studies, or another concentration they create with support from their faculty advisor.
