“Religious Studies courses have forced me (in a good
way) to read lot about different religions and it has
exposed me to new ideas, which I never thought were out
there. I wish I could go back four years and change my
major to Religious Studies.”
“Studying religion has enlightened my mind
and allowed me to dig deeper into what I
believe. It has allowed me to discover a part
of myself that I have never felt before.”
Religious Studies classes remain the most
interesting and provocative classes offered
(on campus).
