The Department of Classics and Religious Studies provides graduate programs culminating in Master of Arts (MA) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in Religious Studies.
Within the Religious Studies sector, the department examines religious phenomena through academic research and instruction, approaching them with the same rigor applied to other observable human experiences.
The investigation of religions primarily employs historical, sociological, psychological, and anthropological methodologies. This scholarly approach requires consideration of diverse religious traditions and their interrelationships within societies.
Scholars explore the significance of religious expressions by analyzing and comparing their manifestations across different eras and cultures, maintaining an objective perspective that privileges no single tradition.
