As a student of Religious Studies, your coursework will focus on three areas of study: Scriptures & Sacred Texts; Religious Traditions & Theologies, and Religion in the Human Community.
You’ll experience a course of study that will engage diverse perspectives, by studying religious texts and traditions through multiple cultural, racial and gendered lenses. You’ll gain an appreciation for perspectives similar to and different from your own.
You will discover that students from many religious and spiritual traditions have majored in Religious Studies at Edgewood College. This academic discipline does not teach you what to think or believe, but how to understand the spiritual and religious beliefs of others and to deepen your own spirituality and quality of life.
