About Bachelor of Arts - Religious Studies
Religion matters. Whether it is cause for warfare or peace, fear or forgiveness, religion's influence upon human history is unparalleled. By exploring the many ways religion and spirituality shape cultural practices, social movements, and psychological perspectives, courses in religious studies give students the skills they need to tackle life's big questions and challenges, to thrive as a creative problem-solver, and to become an agent for positive change.
There is no limit to how the study of religion can contribute to one's professional life, whether in education or health care, law or business, social work or pastoral ministry, or in graduate study in a range of fields. While a minor in religious studies is a popular option, this major is streamlined to enable double-majoring, as many students do.
Nazareth University's course offerings are divided into three areas of study, examining the impacts of religion and spirituality on cultures, societies, and individuals:
- Cross-cultural & Interfaith Awareness: Courses involve sustained study of global traditions, bringing cultural awareness to students' lives and career paths, preparing them to relate responsibly and authentically with future students, patients, clients, business partners, and colleagues from different backgrounds.
- Ethics & Social Justice: Courses pursue questions of ethics and explore systems that sustain and ameliorate social challenges such as racism, sexism, homophobia, colonialism, economic disparity, and environmental destruction, offering students the skills needed to advocate for equity and justice.
- Spiritual Wisdom & Well-being: Courses explore contemplative philosophies and practices to learn how spiritual traditions can facilitate informed self-discovery and human understanding, paving the way for students to thrive as compassionate, effective leaders in their fields.
