College
The minor in Religious Studies is designed to introduce students to the role religion plays in human life and society, as well as to a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, including history, psychology, philosophy, sociology, and gender studies. In addition to gaining knowledge of diverse religious traditions and a context for self-conscious reflection on their own worldviews, students will also hone their critical thinking and communications skills that will prepare them for varied professional careers.
More information about the Religious Studies Program, and information for current W&J students in the program, can be found at the Religious Studies Wiki.
Beyond the Classroom
Students have a wide array of opportunities for research, internships, conferences, and networking beyond the classroom that give them an advantage to prepare for life after W&J.
