The Department of Religious Studies offers an M.A. degree. Admission requirements are set forth in the general regulations governing the degree of Master of Arts. An applicant should have completed a minimum of 45 credit hours in Religious Studies courses at the undergraduate level with at least a B grade in each. An applicant's overall undergraduate program must represent, to the satisfaction of the Department, a solid groundwork for graduate studies. Anyone interested in doing an M.A. in Religious Studies should see Dr. David J. Hawkin, Head of the Department, or Dr. Kim Parker, Graduate Studies Coordinator.
Funding is available for suitably qualified candidates.
It is strongly recommended that students see their faculty advisor early in their programme and periodically throughout. In light of a decision by the University Senate, the Department of Religious Studies feels that it cannot allow deferred examinations on the grounds that students have misread the timetable or overslept. Students should be well aware of this and take pains to check and double-check their examination schedule and to ensure that they arrive at examinations at the appropriate time.
