Overview

Religious Studies from Madonna University fosters an understanding of the religious and moral dimensions of human experience by examining religious sources, traditions, beliefs and practices, with an emphasis on the revelation of the Word of God through Sacred Scripture and the Catholic tradition.

Special attention is given to Franciscan, Christian-humanistic values, with an awareness of other faith traditions and a concern for social justice, in preparation for teaching, pastoral ministry, and graduate studies. Students may pursue either a major or a minor in this field, and may find it valuable to combine this with another major. Students will have an interview with the department chair before entering the program.
