The department holds a crucial position across Georgetown University's educational mission. Initially, it supports the core curriculum through two essential courses: The Problem of God and Introduction to Biblical Literature, which are alternatives for the first required course. The department's diverse course catalog provides options for the second mandatory course. Additionally, it caters to undergraduate majors with four specialization tracks: Christian theology, religious ethics, biblical studies, and religious studies.
Religion, Politics, and the Common Good: This track is designed for students exploring religion's influence in public life (both nationally and internationally) and the insights theology and religious studies bring to contemporary challenges. Requirements include an introductory course (2850: Religion, Politics, and the Common Good), five electives (two of which may be from outside the THRS Department, with advisor approval), an advanced THRS ethics course, a capstone seminar (4008: Religious Liberty), and the Senior Seminar in Religious Pluralism (4969). While optional, concentrators are encouraged to complete a senior thesis (approximately 60 pages of original research supervised by a faculty member)
