There is no area of human thought or action that falls outside the concern of religious thinkers.
All religious traditions teach about ultimate values and their relationship to our worldly lives.
Some of the traditions are the oldest extant bodies of thought. The religions of the world are an ancient and living source for values. The courses in Religious Studies are divided into three groups. Religious Studies majors are required to have a GPA of at least 2.00 in Religious Studies at graduation. All department courses taken at Allegheny on a letter-grade basis are included in that calculation, with the exception of repeated courses for which only the most recent grade counts.
