Overview
Why Study Religion?
The value of a college education increases when graduates have a better understanding of religion’s diversity and influence in regional, national, and global life. The study of religion will help you speak to why religion gives meaning and purpose to billions of people on the planet.
At the eligion program at Pacific Lutheran University, students can take classes in environmental ethics, the religions of Asia, feminist theology, Luther, Native American traditions of the Pacific Northwest – to name just a few. PLU students study religion in Tacoma and Seattle as well as far off destinations such as Hawaii, Rome, or Trinidad-Tobago.
Our graduates make significant contributions to the community as lawyers, school teachers and college professors, lay and ordained religious leaders and leaders in local and global agencies devoted to healthcare and the environment.
Many of our students are double-majors, bringing their work in other fields into conversation with this rich area of study, and into deeper reflection in their own lives.Programme Structure
