Bachelor of Arts (B.A) in Religion
About This Program
A faith or belief system can usually be characterized by practices, sacred texts, sermons, rituals, prayer, meditation, prophecies, and revelations, as well as holy places, symbols, and feasts. In turn, these factors can significantly impact worldviews, morals, and cultural norms and beliefs.
Students will study of the origins, functions, techniques, and experience of religion in a cross-cultural perspective.
