Bachelors in Religious Studies

Religious symbols, practices, and ideas are everywhere, once you start looking. So much so that sometimes it's hard to say where we should draw the boundary between religion and everything else. In Religious Studies courses in Ursinus, you'll read ancient texts and study the living legacies of the world's great faiths --- but you'll also examine the way religious ideas seem to crop up in the most unlikely places. You might go from reading a centuries-old holy book in one class, to examining the way people express their religious identities in online communities in another. You'll do plenty of reading, of course, but you'll also find yourself visiting local mosques and temples. You may find yourself re-examining old questions you always thought you knew the answers to --- or maybe that you never thought to ask.
