Religion

Abstract

The study of religion at GW promotes analysis rather than advocacy of religion or a particular tradition. At the undergraduate level, the Department of Religion offers the bachelor of arts with a major in religion. The program curriculum fosters knowledge of the world's religions, as well as their history, literature, and community structure. Areas of study include Biblical literature, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, ethics, sociology of religion, contemporary movements in theology, and religion in American culture. A minor in religion is also offered.
