Why Study Religion?
The website gives a few ideas about graduate programs, teaching posts, various religious professions, as well as a number of other fields in which a religious studies graduate's skills are highly desirable.
We have gathered data on local religious institutions in and around the College. Through this endeavor, we want:
- To have a good, student-friendly database for fieldwork sites as we continue to focus on the immediate community as our learning environment;
- To make our data available to civic and community groups; and
- To help inform students and interested others of the immense religious diversity in the area.
These maps have been made by interns in the Department of Religious Studies over the past several years.
