What is religious studies?

From the dawn of civilization, people have used rituals and symbols to express their deepest hopes, celebrate major milestones, and mourn their losses.  Religious Studies offers an opportunity to explore religion as a human phenomenon in all its diversity, using a variety of interdisciplinary tools. The field of Religious Studies is particularly pertinent today, given the intersection between religious belief, public policy, and international politics.  With a focus on careful reading, critical thinking, and engagement with perspectives quite different from our own, a degree in Religious Studies also develops skills easily transferrable to a wide variety of career options.
