Religious Studies - Fairfield University

Religious Studies from Fairfield University is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The religious studies curriculum presents a critical but sympathetic inquiry into the religious dimension of human experience. After an introduction to the nature of religion and the methods employed in its study, students can select from a variety of courses exploring specific religious themes - scripture, spirituality, ethics, the problem of faith, and more. Students, with or without a faith commitment, have the opportunity to acquire an informed appreciation of the motivations and values given expression in religious belief. The department's theological offerings explore faith's search for understanding through such topics as: The nature of God The foundations of ethical life Feminist theology The possibility of faith after the Holocaust However, the educational goals are the same: critical thinking, clear expression, mature judgment - the habits of a thoughtful person. We don't have all the answers in religious studies, but we take the questions very seriously. Religious studies is among the most personally rewarding fields of study. And at Fairfield, the religious studies majors form a small, close-knit group of talented individuals, whose differing perspectives on many issues create the kind of late-night conversations - and arguments - that ground genuine friendship. Majors commonly interact closely with faculty members in the department, both socially and professionally. View more details on Fairfield University .
