Description
In today s increasingly globalized world, the importance of cultivating a deeper understanding of our international community is more important than ever. The Department of Religious Studies is committed to this concept and focuses on the history and philosophy of eastern and western religions through an examination of original texts, rituals, beliefs, and subgroups. Many students have found that it is very difficult to understand a specific culture without first studying its religions, says department head Mark Unno. Whether learning about Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or a variety of other religions, you will not only come away with a rich understanding of the region where the religion began and the people who continue to practice it today, but also learn how religions migrate and transform with societies over time. Study multiple facets of culture including sex and gender paradigms, ethnicity perspectives, nationalism, colonialism, mysticism, and comparative religion
