Religious Studies is the study of religion, as understood in its broadest
sense.
Religious Studies is grounded in an examination of the human response to our
biggest questions, such as: why are we here? what is our quest? and what is
the meaning of life? Each religious tradition has its own answers to such questions,
along with its own set of moral values and ethical guidelines for its followers.
Careers:
