Embracing the Department's guiding principle – examining religion within cultural contexts – this Master's program delves into interdisciplinary social theories to analyze religious phenomena, treating each case as an exploration of identity development. Distinct from conventional religion graduate studies, UA's Religion in Culture MA program moves past basic description and comparative analysis, employing social theory to examine how narratives, traditions, categorization systems, and organizational frameworks influence communities and individuals. The curriculum blends critical analysis with digital competencies, equipping students with cutting-edge technological tools to share their research insights with diverse audiences.
