A degree in religion equips students with the tools of a liberal education necessary for many careers. Religion graduates enter the world beyond college with a broad cultural awareness and an ability to engage in dialogue discerningly. They are trained to conduct research, to think critically, and to write and express ideas persuasively. Religion majors have gone on to pursue careers in such fields as public relations, journalism, teaching, service organizations, business, and the arts. The B.A. in religion also prepares students for graduate school or seminary study in religion, as well as for graduate programs in other fields such as law and social work.
Internships are available to qualified students.
Various courses in other disciplines are accepted towards the religion major which allows students to have an interdisciplinary approach in the formation of their major. Various religion offerings also complement work in American studies, anthropology, classics, drama, English, history, international affairs, philosophy, psychology, and Russian studies, among other disciplines.
