The Program
The university offers a Certificate in Religious Studies to undergraduates who complete six courses to be selected from courses (including Independent Study) at the university and at the other Five College campuses. The interdisciplinary program studies the role of religion in human affairs, aiming to: a) provide a focused study of religion, emphasizing its importance in cultural and global affairs; and b) offer an integrated program of courses, research, and lectures at the university. This program does not pursue sectarian religious instruction. Instead, it promotes analytic and comparative study within the framework of a general education. The diversity of religious systems and world views is stressed, as are methods of study in the humanities and social sciences.
