पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

In this program, students must satisfy a distribution requirement in three “tracks:” western religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), eastern religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Religions of China and Japan) and American religions (Religions of America, Native American religions, African American religions). Students become more deeply aware of their own cultural and religious traditions by studying those of others, and will approach those other traditions with greater empathy and sensitivity to their complexity. The study of sacred texts enables students to learn how foundational scriptures are written, read, interpreted and canonized; students choose between courses on the Hebrew bible, the New Testament, or Asian sacred texts. “Theories in the Study of Religions” is a required course that familiarizes students with the theoretical tools used in the academic study of religion, while the Senior Seminar serves as a capstone experience that integrates theoretical and methodological issues and applies them to specific religious phenomena or to a theme that varies each year. Religious studies graduates have gone on to successful careers in business, medicine, teaching, law, the Foreign Service, counseling, journalism and many other fields.
