Where diversity comes together  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our program is the place to explore how and why humans appeal to spirituality to make sense of themselves and their world. We apply a religious lens to history, anthropology, political science, literature and cultural studies. We also examine the origins and early literature of the primary religious traditions, such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll explore your religious traditions and those of others: our program thrives on the diversity of students\u2019 lived experiences to create meaningful discussions. Classrooms provide a safe space to develop the tools to have respectful and frank conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our courses teach intellectual humility and appreciating diversity \u2013 essential for life in a multi-ethnic, multicultural society and a global workplace. We look forward to welcoming you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
