Why Religious Studies?

In religious studies courses, we examine various religious traditions in an effort to understand the people who follow them. The study of religion helps to develop critical thinking skills and helps one understand and appreciate diversity. Critical thinking and the ability to appreciate and work with people from diverse backgrounds are both highly desirable job skills. Whatever your career path, the study of religion makes one a more educated and informed citizen.
