Religious Studies is the multidisciplinary hub at UNF for discovering the roles and functions of religions in human life and culture. Religious Studies students enjoy a low student/faculty ratio allowing them one-on-one attention from their professors. They investigate religion in ways that foster intellectual, civic, and global engagement, gain cross-cultural awareness by describing and analyzing religious systems as they exist in historical and social contexts in an impartial and academic manner, develop clear thinking and writing skills, and learn to see the world through the eyes of others.<br>The Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies requires a total of 120 semester hours. Religious Studies majors take a total of 30 credit hours of coursework with 24 Religious Studies designated credit hours, from a variety of disciplines across the university, and chosen by the student to reflect his/her interests, culminating in Theory and Methods and a Senior Seminar Capstone course (3 credit hours each). Religious Studies majors are encouraged to participate in a study abroad experience.
