Course Options for First-Year Students
The Religion Department offers a number of interesting ways to get started with your GERs.
NOTE: Any 100 or 200 level course in Religion is appropriate for new students. No previous study or familiarity with the particular topic is expected or needed. Religion Courses are a good entry into the college experience because they allow the opportunity for students to reflect on their own values and those of others while learning the skills of critical thinking and clear verbal and written argument.
