Overview

Students will engage with Scripture and learn about Christian beliefs and heritage. Through critical study they will become informed on the role of religion in society and as they advance from the program they will be prepared for graduate studies in religion and theology.

This Religious Studies program from La Sierra University prepares students who want to become religion teachers or who would like to work in pastoral ministry.
