Overview

The Religious Studies program of the Utah State University provides a neutral place to study religion and its role in society, whether or not students are privately religious. Students who graduate from the program obtain cultural literacy about religion. They master skills of critical thinking and expression applicable in diverse fields — whether students are preparing for law school, work in international relations, service with religious groups and charitable organizations, or many other careers.

Religious studies majors learn to be thoughtful about the influence of religion upon culture and the influence of culture upon religion. They learn to analyze the influence of religious values and concepts on individuals and communities. They gain competence in thinking about how humans make meaning in the face of confusing and sometimes painful realities. Through examining these and other issues concerning religion, students develop strong research, communication, and imaginative skills that are highly valued by employers.

The curriculum consists of courses specifically in religious studies but also in related areas, such as history, art history, English, philosophy, anthropology, languages, and more. These courses help students examine religious topics through multiple lenses, giving students’ education a range of depth and breadth.

Career Options
