Religious Studies - Beloit College

Religious Studies from Beloit College is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Exploring world religions in a Beloit classroom means studying the sacred from both the inside and the outside. From the inside, we examine types of religious experiences, various understandings of God, gods and goddesses, the ritual and myths of religious communities and the behaviors of believers in differing times and places. From the outside, we observe religious institutions and their impact on culture and daily life, and we analyze the encounters among religions throughout history and in the modern world. This comparative approach to religion allows for an open investigation in a liberal arts setting. Rather than promoting any one religion, this approach both appreciates and questions religious claims and practices. Although Beloit College is not directly affiliated with any single religious body today, its heritage is in the liberal Protestant tradition. The right to believe in and to practice a particular faith is integrated with intellectual responsibility and honesty. As a result, students from many different backgrounds take courses in religion and develop them into arenas for personal explorations and academic development. View more details on Beloit College .
