Courses

Religious Studies courses provide in-depth study of religious traditions, spiritualities,
past and lived experiences explored within a variety of cultural and social contexts.
Our classes expose students to diverse worldviews and interdisciplinary methods as
our curriculum seeks to situate and further academic learning in cross-cultural and
comparative framework. Our departmental strengths include: courses on religious
traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Asian Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam; histories of religions; religious ethics; and religion in America.

Religious Studies faculty regularly teach COLL 100 and COLL 150 courses for first-
year students. Many of our courses also fulfill COLL 200, COLL 300, and COLL 350
requirements. All courses without prerequisites welcome students interested in the
study of religion, including 300-level courses. See the Catalog for our current course
offerings.
