Courses & Transfers
Courses in Religious Studies offer contextualized approaches to religious subject matter. Most of our courses originate in other CLA departments: history, Asian languages & literatures, classical & Near Eastern studies, anthropology, etc. With over 60 courses cross-listed with RELS, students have a wealth of options from which to choose.

Transferring Religious Studies and Theology Courses
Religious studies and theology courses transfer if they are not doctrinal, confessional, or sectarian in nature.
