The departments of History and Religion offer an interdisciplinary joint major as an alternative to a departmental or double major. The joint major seeks a coherence which draws upon expertise in each department to aid the student in fashioning an individual program of study. The goal of the program is a logical and focused curriculum for exploring the role of religion in history. Student participation in the intellectual life of each department is thus a high priority, and the exact nature of the individual class list should be worked out in consultation with advisors in each department. There are no geographical or chronological limits placed on this joint major.
