Program: Religious Studies

Program Overview

The program and curricular composition of the WIU religious studies major was developed to offer a combination of breadth in covering a range of religious traditions and methodological approaches, while also expecting some depth of focus in student-selected areas.

The WIU major is designed to familiarize students with a diverse range of
religions.

Why Religious Studies at WIU?

In REL 490 (Capstone Project), students engage in an independent scholarly or research project that will prepare them for future graduate work.

The department will also encourage students to study a foreign language and/or engage in
a study abroad program that features the study of religion.
