Minor in Religious Studies
We live in a world of many cultures. Each of these cultures is shaped by a least one religion and often more than one. A minor in Religious Studies can bring an important dimension of multicultural awareness to a major in any other discipline, and the issues raised by the study of religion and the investigation of these issues involve factual discovery and conceptual insight.
The Religious Studies minor helps develop critical thinking and writing skills, critical historical analysis, sociocultural analysis and comparative analysis of the other. Anyone who will need to know something of the beliefs, rituals and moral values of other people in order to better appreciate different cultural patterns and individual aspirations would benefit from a Religious Studies minor to supplements one’s major.
