Religious Studies

The goal of our programs isn't to make you into a priest or nun. Rather, it is to let you study different expressions of religion throughout history, as well as in contemporary society. To understand our world, it is important to look at religion. Our multidisciplinary programs combine history, sociology, psychology and anthropology. The result is a rich mix of perspectives on an array of topics: world religions, history of the study of religion, Amerindian religions, Asian traditions, religion in Canada, women and religion, human rights, health, the environment and the relationship between religion and globalization.
