In an ever-shrinking world, we constantly find ourselves surrounded by people of different religions and cultures, many that we don't understand. The World Religions & Cultures program gives students better comprehension of religious diversity in our globalized society—and in our own communities and neighborhoods. We explore the historical development, lived experience and practices, and contemporary situations of major religious traditions: Hinduism, Buddhism and other Eastern traditions, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. This program provides an opportunity for students to gain a holistic understanding of humanity and cultures, helps shape their own philosophy of life, and embraces the diverse traditions encountered in a pluralistic society. The courses are also highly practical and can be completed on their own or combined with other fields such as psychology, sociology, teaching, or social work. A study of the religions and cultures of the globe is an essential ingredient in bringing positive change to the world.
