The study of religion and its impact on our world is an integral part of the liberal education offered by Saint Joseph's College. Every student is required to deal with religious and philosophical concepts throughout the Core program. As a part of its Catholic identity, the College offers a deeper reflection and study of religion through a combined major with philosophy or a minor in religion.
Religious experience is universally a part of the human condition.
The religion minor offers the student the opportunity to study and reflect on the foundational sources and the human response to the Divine through a system of beliefs, worship and morality. Both the Core curriculum and the religious studies department recognize the importance of dialogue in our contemporary pluralistic world. Introduction to Hebrew Scriptures 112. Introduction to Christian Scriptures 121. Any 9 hours in Religion.
