with a Concentration in Religious Studies

Religious Studies (REL) explores how religion and spirituality intersect with mental, physical and spiritual wellness. Join scholars in “religion and wellness” to examine how approaches to healing and wellness, such as mental health counseling, pastoral care, public health policy, meditation and nutrition and the 12 Steps intersect with religious and spiritual thought and practice. Our program is geared for those interested in pursuing careers in a wide range of care and wellness industries, as well as understanding how religions and spirituality affect our holistic wellness.

Religious Studies is designed for all, regardless of faith or belief, but we also offer a Pre-Divinity Track for anyone interested in pursuing academic studies and vocational careers in religion, including those with an interest in pursuing advanced degrees in divinity school, and nonprofit work with religious organizations. Many of our graduates have gone on to further studies at prestigious institutions such as Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Harvard, and many more. To learn more, contact David McDuffie.
