About Religious Studies

Bradley University’s Religious Studies program is primarily designed for the student who wants an academic understanding of this significant area of human culture and life. A comprehensive and non-sectarian program of studies is provided to meet the special interests and needs of all students. Courses provide insight into origins and historical development of world religions, the production and interpretation of religious texts, the role of religion in contemporary society, the nature and diversity of religious belief systems, and the place of religious belief or experience in our personal lives. The Religious Studies program is also appropriate for students electing a major in religious studies with the intention of further graduate or professional study in religion or related fields.
