Welcome
to the Department of Religious Studies! We invite you to immerse yourself
in the texts, history, and practices of the religious traditions
that have shaped society, politics, and the arts for millennia.
Home to 14 full time faculty, numerous joint appointments and visiting faculty, with close ties to faculty in
a host of other programs and departments, we are known for our
breadth, interdisciplinary emphasis, and strong teaching, not
to mention active and diverse faculty scholarship. We offer courses
in Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Theology, American
religions as well as in theory and method.
Students interested
in our undergraduate program can pursue a major or a minor or
simply sample from a varied menu of introductory and advanced
courses. Our graduate program offers
concentrations in American Religions, Buddhism, Contemporary Religions, Islam, Judaism, Medieval Christianity, Religion, Ethics and Public Life and Theology and Religious Reflection.
We also teach continuing education
courses through the School of Continuing Studies.
The Department of Religious Studies also sponsors many public lectures and conferences. For department lectures, please see News and Events.
