which must include: (a) at least 8 credits from a single “primary” religious tradition and (b) a minimum of 8 credits from courses studying religious traditions outside the chosen primary religious tradition.

an additional eight elective credits, which could include additional religious traditions courses, comparative courses, or a course from the following list:


a Reflective Journal entry for each course after declaring the major,


and attendance at department colloquium events (1-2 per year)

Notes:

  • Two two-credit courses taught by members of the Religion department may also be considered as a single course for meeting major requirements.
