Religious Studies - major

Recent graduates hold jobs in nonprofit work, marketing, environmental education and government policy. Many pursue advanced degrees in religious studies as well as fields such as social work, law, education, criminology and medicine.

Located in the heart of campus, Hildreth-Mirza Hall is the home for the humanities at Bucknell. Housing Bucknell's Humanities Center, the Bucknell University Press and other humanities-based initiatives, the hall offers students a relaxed environment to study in groups or the privacy to work alone. Students from all majors are welcome to use the center.

In addition to pursuing a religious studies major or minor, students can also take courses in Arabic, Jewish and Modern Hebrew studies, offering a deeper look at specific religions and cultures.

Our Arabic Studies program offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Arabic culture through language, media, religion and other facets of the Arabic culture.
