The department holds a crucial position across Georgetown University's educational initiatives. 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.
Religious Studies Concentration: Designed for students exploring comparative and critical analysis of religious traditions (such as Asian Religions, Middle Eastern Religions, or Comparative Methodologies in Religious Studies), philosophical theology, or the interplay between religious concepts and their societal/historical settings. This concentration also examines religion's connections with other cultural elements like science, arts, or governance systems. Requirements include: three foundational courses (Approaches to Religion 4000, one advanced course on a Religious Community at the 4000 level or higher, one advanced course on Problems/Boundaries in Religious Studies at the 4000 level or higher), five intermediate or advanced electives (chosen with guidance from the concentration advisor), and the culminating Senior Seminar in Religious Pluralism 4969.
