Only a few students enter Albion intending to study religion or to pursue a major or minor in Religious Studies. A survey of the courses we teach, their content, and their methods explains why so many students take more than one course with us. Many of these questions have their roots in religious perspectives that are a part of our multicultural inheritance. We cannot afford to ignore them.
Religion is a vital part of our world.
It is as current as today's news, yet reaches back to our earliest beginnings as a species. Although Religious Studies may be interesting in and of itself, one cannot live on academic interest alone. Studying religion also has practical payoffs. Students who have graduated from Albion with a major in Religions Studies are now involved in a wide variety of careers. Some have earned graduate degrees in religious studies and teach in leading colleges and universities.
