Religious Studies

The Associate of Arts in Religious Studies offers a coordinated set of classes that focuses on the analysis and comparison of religious traditions using methods from a variety of disciplines. Students take religious studies courses to fulfill general education requirements in humanities or social sciences, and can transfer to 4-year programs in related majors. With a bachelor’s degree in religious studies, students pursue careers in law, business, public and political service, and education. A religious studies major also prepares students for graduate studies in the discipline and for professional seminary and divinity school.
