Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies

Program Overview


Program Highlights

What is the difference between Order and Chaos, and which should we prefer? Religious Studies explores this question through courses that cover religious systems from around the world; specific topics such as food, sexuality, political rebellion and popular culture; and overarching themes like Evil (RELS 2201) and — for the particularly adept — Advanced Evil (RELS 3380).

You will also have the opportunity to consider questions such as:

  • Wy is "sin" so much fun? Why are the punishments for disobedience so unfortunate?
  • Do arguments between humans and divine beings ever turn out well?
  • What is the relationship between politics and religion? Should there be one?
  • Why are there five "big religions" and what are the others?
  • How do rituals restore order? Can symbols transcend reason as a vehicle for truth?
  • Is gender a human construction, a cosmic reality, or both? And how would we know?

Religious Studies classes are full of lively discussion and open-ended inquiry. Everyone from gamers and geeks, to historians, philosophers. social critics, lovers of literature, science students and cultural analysts have found Religious Studies to be a perfect complement to their learning.
