New bachelor’s degree emphasizes the academic study of religions
Sarah Settimo REL'18 was drawn to OSU because she wanted a different experience than the one she had when attending a small private Catholic high school.
Religious Studies is the academic field that explores the social and cultural phenomenon called religion. Because religion is so powerful, persistent and prominent, Religious Studies offers students a unique window into the deepest currents of human culture.
Religious Studies at OSU is an inter-disciplinary field that combines history, philosophy, anthropology, ethics, textual analysis, art, literature and film to examine the ways that humans have described and acted in response to that which they have called divine, both in civilizations long past and among peoples and nations around the world in the present moment. A major in Religious Studies will expose you to some of the most profound and beautiful creations of the human imagination, give you expertise in critical reasoning and close engagement with texts and ideas, give you skills to navigate the cultural complexity of our diverse society, and prepare you to be a participatory citizen of our interconnected global environment.
