Whether or not one is personally inclined toward religion, Religious Studies can illuminate issues in a range of areas such as:
• Art and music
• World and U.S. cultures
• History
• Politics
• Sociology
• Philosophy
• Psychology
• Ethics
• Healthcare and counseling
Knowledge and methods from a variety of disciplines provide many approaches to understanding religion, which is a major force in the history and future of the world.
The Religious Studies Minor is especially a good compliment to students majoring in Anthropology, English and Comparative Literature, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology.
