There are several different ways in which human beings comprehend the world: philosophy, scientific practice and, perhaps the most common, religion. Religion serves a variety of psychological, emotional, personal and social needs, but each religion goes about it in a different creatively dynamic way. The comparative religion minor methodologically teaches students how to study religion. Courses engage students to participate in an active study and dialogue on the topics of religion and faith. Students are welcome in the program regardless of current faith and are taught to examine the philosophy of religion in an ethnographic context.
