Religion Major
Majors and minors are encouraged to take Religion 101 early in their careers and to explore as many different religious traditions as possible.
Ten courses are required for the major. Eight courses must be taken within the department, and two may be taken outside the department from a list of approved courses. Students may petition to allow more courses from outside the department to apply to the major, but the petition is subject to approval by the department. At least two courses must be at the 200-level; at least two courses must be at the 300-level or above.
Eligible upper-level students may submit proposals for senior independent study courses (Religion 460), which are subject to approval by the department and by the professor sponsoring the course. Students intending to submit proposals should do so in the semester preceding the semester when the course work will be done.
Religion Minor
Six courses are required for the minor. At least one must be at the 200 level, and at least one must be at the 300 level or above. One of the six may be taken outside the department but may not be in the student's major. Students may petition to allow more courses from outside the department to apply to the minor, but the petition is subject to approval by the department.
Approved courses outside the department
Any of the following courses outside of the department may be counted toward either a major or minor. Other courses may be possible with the permission of the department chair.
