Requirements for a Concentration in Religious Studies
Students may effectively major in Religious Studies by selecting a
Philosophy major and choosing the Religious Studies concentration.
Although many Philosophy and Religious Studies course are cross-listed,
no specialized training in philosophy is required for the Religious
Studies concentration.
NOTE: The curriculum in
Religious Studies is currently undergoing extensive restructuring.
Some of the courses indicated below and on the degree audit have been
dropped from the catalog. Other courses may be substituted with
approval in writing from the student's advisor or the assistant chair
for Religious Studies.

27 semester hours of religious studies courses. These include three
core courses (Religious Studies 2027 or 2031, 2029 or 2030, and 4301)
plus 18 hours of religious studies electives.
At least 15 of the 27 hours must be at the 3000 level or above, and of these at
least six hours must be at the 4000 level (including Religious Studies 4301).

for the minor.
