Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies

The Religious Studies department has grown substantially to become one of the most diverse programs in the College of Arts and Sciences.  Religious Studies students take classes from multiple disciplines that given them an in-depth overview of global religious traditions.  In addition to full-time RELS faculty members, OU faculty from many departments (e.g.,  African and African-American Studies, Anthropology, Classics, English, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, etc.) offer courses each year that count for the RELS major or minor.  This multi-disciplinary approach reflects accurately the contemporary study of religion and human religious life.  Many students choose to double major or pursue a dual degree program since Religious Studies complements numerous academic disciplines.
