Overview
Course Details
Explore religion from a cultural, political, sociological, and spiritual perspective by enrolling in the Religion BA course at the American Public University. You also gain an understanding of the theological principles of religious thought and expression.
APU’s multidisciplinary Bachelor of Arts in Religion examines the origin, history, beliefs, and practices of major religions of the world as you learn the role faith plays in developing a worldview.
