Overview

Bachelor of Arts - Religious Studies

Religious Studies explores the roles religions play in contemporary society and around the world. 

St. Thomas University offers courses that are multi-religious and comparative in scope related to a particular theme or issue, as well as courses that focus on a specific religious tradition. 

The University approaches religious studies through the humanities and social sciences and studies their influence on a wide range of current social processes and challenges.

What sets STU’s Religious Studies Program Apart? 

  • Small, engaging classes that emphasize personal interaction, discussion, and debate.
  • Religious Studies is a multi-disciplinary field of study. It exposes students to a variety of approaches, as well as serious reflections on the nature of methodology and scholarly inquiry.
  • Lectures and seminars are always taught by professors—not teaching assistants—which means students learn from experts in the field.
  • There are multiple streams in Religious Studies, including ritual studies, ethics, interpreting texts, and social actor analysis.

You might be interested in studying Religious Studies if… 

  • You want to examine how the different aspects of religion shape politics, the arts, social movements, sexualities, and the environment
  • You want to learn more about world religions and their similarities and differences
