Religious Studies Minor
The Religious Studies minor offers the student a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of religion as a human endeavor. The student has the opportunity to meet his/her needs and interests by choosing (in consultation with the Coordinator) four electives in at least two disciplines. In addition, the required Seminar in Comparative Religion (normally taken as one of the last courses in the minor) presents the student with a broad but integrated perspective on religion.
