Want to explore the various depths, dimensions, and meanings of world religions? As a religious studies minor at Suffolk University, you'll study both Western and non-western cultures—from ancient civilizations to modern times—to understand the impact of religious ideas and practices.
All students take the same foundational courses in Eastern and Western religious traditions. From there, you'll choose four courses about religion from various disciplines, from English and history, to government, philosophy, and sociology. If you'd like, you can pursue research or field studies through an independent study course.
