*Religious Studies is currently not accepting graduate applications.
The Department of Religious Studies offers the degrees of Master of Arts (MA) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The principal purpose of the graduate program is to provide students with the research and teaching tools that may lead to careers in colleges, universities, and other venues in which the academic skills of a religionist are utilized. The department encourages an interdisciplinary approach to the study of religion and works with students to design a course of study to meet intellectual needs within the limits of faculty expertise and available resources.
