What can you do with a Religious Studies Minor?
Religious studies prepares you for a range of graduate school and career options. By confronting questions of fundamental religious concern, minors gain a better understanding of both their own beliefs and motives and those of other people—as well as an improved sense of empathy and tolerance for viewpoints that differ from their own. As such, religious studies minors tend to excel in fields that demand cooperation with or commitments of service toward others. Minors pursue careers in ministry, law, government, public service, social work, and teaching.
