Overview

What can I do with a major in religious studies?

After graduation, majors in the Religious Studies program of the Wake Forest University do the same things other humanities majors do, in roughly the same proportions. Majoring in Religion is not, for most students, a route to a religious career, any more than majoring in English leads to being a novelist, poet, or literary critic. Our majors have gone on to pursue careers in a wide variety of fields, including Non-Profit work, Education, Law, Social Work, Medicine, Business/Finance, Ministry, and Graduate School.

Key Facts

A recent survey of 114 graduates of the program within the last ten years revealed that 90% of those surveyed responded that they were satisfied/very satisfied with their choice of religion as a major or minor and a similar percentage would make the same decision again given the opportunity.
