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. 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).
