The religion faculty of the Philosophy and Religion Department represent a wide range
of interests.
The Major (33 Credits)
Today the academic study of religion must be global in scope. It must encourage the
student to consider issues from many different perspectives and to investigate the
religious cultures of peoples around the world. This new major exposes students to the
religious traditions of every continent as well as to a wide range of interpretive
schools. Narrative, ritual, ethics, poetry, philosophy and theology will all be included
in this new program. Hermeneutical and phenomenological diversity are the central themes
of this major. New courses have been added and others updated or re-titled to make this
program of study multidimensional and universal.
