Religion, Comparative

Comparative religion students are globalists, with expertise in analyzing the ways in which billions of people lead and evaluate their lives across the world and within american pluralism. with one foot in the humanities and the other in the social sciences, comparative religion is interdisciplinary in nature. through their study of world history and its shaping of current events, global comparative analysis and knowledge of ethical standards and practices, comparative religion students are equipped to understand multiple perspectives on today’s pressing issues in the u.s. and around the world, and to engage in informed discussion and decision making towards sustainable solutions. the vital contribution of comparative religion students’ globalist expertise has been recognized and noted by two recent u.s. secretaries of state, as well as the national council for the social studies.

We prepare our students to get internships that are résumé standouts, where they put theory into practice and gain sought-after knowledge, skills, and connections. these internships reflect the wide variety of occupations that make use of the skills we teach.
