The interdisciplinary major
in Religious Studies draws on the resources of UWM
faculty members with a teaching and research interest in religion.
This program provides students with a broad humanistic background
in religion and an opportunity to develop special concentrations in
specific areas of interest. There is no sectarian program of instruction.
Rather, faculty bring to their teaching the special academic characteristics
of their own scholarly disciplines, and majors in the program draw
upon a wide sample of those academic traditions. Thus, such subjects
as the sociology and philosophy of religion and religion in art and
literature are included in this program. Religious Studies
includes the major components of world religions, in particular Buddhist,
Christian, Classical Greek and Roman, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, African,
and American Indian.
Religious Studies serves students
seeking a broadly humanistic program, those who are pursuing a wide
range of pre-professional education programs, those anticipating
teaching careers at the secondary or higher educational level, and
those who will undertake further study for the religious ministry.
