Minor in Religion

Why has religion become such an important – and controversial – part of modern life around the world?  What do Americans – who live in the most religiously diverse society on earth – need to know about each other’s religious ideas, values and beliefs?  Is it possible to study world religions objectively and impartially?

Explore the new Religion Minor, offered for the first time in fall 2009 by the Department of History, Political Science, Philosophy and American Studies.  Use the Religion Minor to make your major – whether in Liberal Arts, Business, Education, Pre-Med, Nursing or another discipline – go further and do more.

To become a Religion Minor, fill out this form and submit it to Dr. David Damrel in Media 132.

Special Fall Classes include:

Buddhism
Contemporary Christian Morality
Ancient World of the Bible
Modern Islam
Christian Controversies I
