Program Information

Religious Studies at Willamette University offers students the opportunity to engage in the critical study of religion as a pervasive aspect of human culture. In Religious Studies courses students learn how to formulate critical questions about religious traditions and phenomena. They acquire a knowledge base adequate to a nuanced and meaningful understanding of a variety of religions, including beliefs, practices, cultural contexts and distinctive histories. Students develop as well the capacity to assess the truth claims and other contributions to human culture made by the leaders, scholars, communities, and texts associated with religion.
