Why CCU for Religious Studies?

Religious Studies majors lay foundations that open doors to a wide range of career paths including nonprofit, government, and policy work; counseling and social work; education and healthcare; journalism, law, business, and ministry. 

Whether you come from a nonreligious background or a tightknit faith community; whether you suspect that religions have too much influence on public life or not enough; whether you want to know more about ancient texts, mull over the meaning of life and death, contemplate what makes something holy, be an informed traveler; or better understand and serve clients, patients, and neighbors, Religious Studies has room for you.
