Religious and Theological Studies Minor

Religion’s Influence on Life

A minor in religious and theological studies will help you round out your academic career with an understanding and intellectual grasp of religion as a part of human life and its development.

You may take any four courses in religious and theological studies beyond the introductory course (RTS 1100, RTS 1001 or RTS 1000/15xx).

The minor requires completing a minimum of 14 credits at the 2000 level or above. You may take one course from an approved list of courses outside the department to complete the requirements.
