Mission Statement:
The primary mission of the religious studies program is to
provide an objective, non-sectarian program of study. The
program is intended (1) to enable students to become acquainted
with current scholarship in the study of religion, (2) to
increase student understanding of the role religion plays in the
lives of individuals, societies and diverse cultures, and (3) to
help students improve their skills in writing and critical
thinking, particularly with reference to religion. The academic
study of religion is part of the liberal arts tradition, which
seeks to make students more informed, more thoughtful and more
tolerant citizens.
