Bachelor of Arts in Society, Culture and Religion and Another Subject (Combined Honours)

McMaster University

Religion is an integral part of human cultures and civilizations. The Society, Culture & Religion programs examine how religion influences and shapes the world. They use an interdisciplinary focus to study how ancient and contemporary human cultures ask and answer the ''big questions.'' Studying cultures and religions help inform the root causes of what’s going on in our world, locally and internationally.The programs allow students to meet challenges in fields such as, law, politics, teaching, healthcare, business, journalism and social services. At McMaster, we offer a breadth of courses and programs tailored to individual student interests. Our professors offer expertise in a wide range of disciplines including Anthropology, Political Philosophy, Ethics and History. This diversity contributes to our focus on cultivating critical thinkers, engaged citizens and effective communicators. Students graduate with a double major in Religious Studies and another subject. As of September 2019 Religious Studies B.A. programs will be renamed to Society, Culture & Religion.
