The University Studies concentration in Religious Thought, Practices, and Culture gives students a knowledge base for analyzing how religious beliefs and practices work in a global context. Students develop the mental flexibility to see the world from multiple points of view and also learn to recognize how religion shapes social organizations, political actions, and individual behavior. The study of religion requires critical distance, analytical skills, and the mental flexibility to see the world from multiple points of view. <br><br>The concentration in Religious Thought, Culture, and Practices sits at the intersection of multiple disciplines. Any minor, in or outside the College of Arts and Sciences, is thus likely to contribute to a concentration in religion. For example: a minor in biology offers a research path into the neuroscience of religious experience, a minor in psychology contributes a secular view of how religious belief affects people's behavior, a minor in anthropology shows the ways religion shapes cultural identity, a minor in history applies methods for analyzing how religious traditions evolve and change, a minor in mathematics could allow students to model changes in the global distribution of religious traditions, a minor in political science provides methods for analyzing the interplay between religion and politics.
