knowledge of religion will be a distinct advantage.

The Religious Studies Minor offers a basic understanding of religious beliefs and practices for those whose lives and careers would benefit significantly from a familiarity with various religious traditions, such as careers in teaching, journalism, business, social work, medicine and law.
