Religions are a ubiquitous influence in political and cultural affairs, and religious thoughts, feelings, institutions, traditions, and obligations are a near-constant concern in the daily lives of most people. The minor in Religious Studies helps to prepare students for life in a religiously diverse world, and for further studies of religion(s).

The minor consists of one required course together with five appropriate electives. Electives are regularly offered in the fields of anthropology, communication, history, psychology, and philosophy. More information on electives may be obtained from the Religious Studies web page listed above.
