Overview

Study religious practices, sacred texts, conceptions of morality, rituals, and religious experiences from around the world, and see where they intersect and differ.

Understanding religious traditions allows you to grow in empathy, articulate your values, and better understand the human experience.

Why Study Religions at Albion?

Religion has shaped and driven individuals and institutions in every culture. As a Religious Studies major at Albion College , you’ll consider the most challenging questions of existence.

Where did we come from?

Why is there pain and suffering?

Why are we not treated equitably?

You’ll learn how different religious traditions have sought to answer these questions throughout history. You’ll analyze primary texts, religious literature, and philosophy. You’ll benefit from rigorous discussion in our small classes, build close relationships with your professors and peers, and develop keen critical and analytical skills.

Careers & Outcomes

As a student of religious studies, you’ll graduate with a deep understanding of humanity, past and present, and how individuals and societies translate core beliefs into concrete action. Students who major in religious studies develop compassion, empathy, ethics, and critical reasoning to go on to a variety of careers in law, medicine, clinical psychology, business, and other fields. The field of religious studies provides insight into family and global culture, justice work, and philosophical reason. Many of our students go on to graduate school in religion or law, while others begin careers in ministry, social services, writing or business.
