What will I learn?
Who or what is the divine. What does it mean to be human. How do spiritual beliefs shape our world. In this program, you’ll examine how religions have influenced politics, economics, culture, art, science, and society throughout history and continue to do so today. Tailor your degree to your passions. We offer more than 100 undergraduate courses covering the religions of the world, Jewish studies, Christian traditions, and religious culture and society. Thanks to strong links with the Department of Religion and Culture at neighbouring Wilfrid Laurier University, you’ll have access to even more learning opportunities. You’ll graduate equipped with the multicultural understanding, critical thinking skills, and historical knowledge to succeed in a variety of careers. And, if you take the co op stream, up to two years of work experience on your resume. This major was previously named Religious Studies. Its new name, effective September 2025, better reflects the courses and research in this topic.
