Overview

Baker University's Religious Studies program helps students to gain a broad historical perspective of various world religions and their practices, to explore the scholarly methods and theories specific to the field, and to learn how to effectively analyze religious texts.

Overview

Students also have the flexibility to dive deep and focus on one tradition or one aspect of a religion or text. It encourages a well-rounded perspective on the study of humanity from multiple points of view.

The study of religion involves discussions on history, culture, race, society, sexuality, gender, and politics. Belief and nonbelief govern so many aspects of the human experience that in order to understand the world one needs to understand religion.
