Master of Arts in Religion

The Master of Arts in Religion program is a thirty-six semester-hour program. It includes eighteen hours taken from a common core offered by the Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy. Students select an additional twelve hours in the department in a Biblical Studies/Languages concentration, or they select a concentration outside the department in the School of Psychology and Counseling, English department, School of Divinity, or School of Education. The Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy must approve these concentrations. Students must also meet all requirements established by the departments/schools involved for taking courses outside of the Department of Religious Studies. Students also select six hours from one of two tracks: the research track (a research seminar and thesis) or the teaching track (a pedagogy course and an internship in university teaching).
