The University of Denver s Religious Studies program explores the phenomenon of religion as well as different religious traditions from around the world. Students may major or minor in Religious Studies or choose the interdisciplinary area major, in which courses in Religious Studies are combined with those in two other academic disciplines. Courses are also available for non-majors, who want introductory courses in Religious Studies or advanced courses coordinated with their special interest. At least 4 credits must be from the introductory courses in Judaism or Christianity and 4 credits from the introductory course in some other tradition.
Students observe religious practice and explore basic issues in the study of religion.
Each year the department sponsors a colloquium focusing on a different topic. This provides students with an opportunity to participate in a small class addressing a specific issue with a faculty member experienced in its background. Students are also welcome to include approved courses in the study of religion taught by members of other departments and are encouraged to participate in accredited international programs with Religious Studies contents. In addition, honors students write a thesis based on a topic of specific interest which has been explored in direct study courses. University of Denver 2199 South University Blvd.
