Religious Studies, Minor

A Minor in Religious Studies is quite flexible and consists of a minimum of 15 credit hours. At least two of the RELS courses must be at the 3000-level or above. Even if you have already chosen a major, Religious Studies courses add a fascinating dimension to your education. You might like our courses so much that your minor becomes a second major. We commonly have students double major in Psychology and Religious Studies, Sociology and Religious Studies, Political Science and Religious Studies, English and Religious Studies, and more. Students in Education, Social Work, and various health professions find our courses helpful for increasing their cultural competencies.

Religious Studies majors and minors find the skills they acquire highly attractive in a variety of career areas. Our graduates regularly enter the fields of medicine, business, law, communications, public relations, international studies, education, and the helping professions.
