Overview
The Religion program from Central Michigan University will equip you to confront the challenges of a diverse global community. You’ll study how different cultures and faiths have answered the most fundamental questions: How do we explain human suffering? What is the meaning of life?
You’ll gain an understanding of global diversity by studying overseas. You’ll learn about the variety of religious traditions around the world, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and more. In a multicultural world, you’ll benefit from the ability to understand other people’s religious traditions.
Pairing religion with another subject as a double major is a great way to add depth to your studies, increase your value to employers and become a more engaged global citizen.
