Religion Major

The religion major is designed for students seeking a strong background in biblical, theological, and religious studies as preparation for various professions, including Christian ministry, and for graduate education. A departmental interim course may be included as an elective course. As part of the departmental writing program, majors must take one departmental course (excluding REL 121 , REL 131 , REL 357 , REL 396 ) prior to their senior year as writing enriched. This course will include additional writing, a revision component, intensive evaluation, and will prepare the student for REL 396 . Students considering seminary or graduate school should consult their advisor about a recommended language cognate. Admittance to the major program requires completion of a core course with a minimum grade of C (2.0).
