Religious Studies Core Courses
Regularly scheduled courses that qualify for the Religious Studies Certificate
are listed below. Other courses may also qualify; consult the Director
for guidance. Please keep in mind that no more than two of the four
"middle courses" (besides History 112 and the integrative seminar)
can be drawn from the same department, and that only two courses (History
112 and one other course) can be at the introductory level. For descriptions of the courses listed below, please consult the Spring 2008 Religious Studies Course Description Guide. (Course description guide will open in a new window.) Until the next update, please note that if a course has previously qualified, it will continue to qualify.
