Major Religious Studies

About this programme

The Major in Religious Studies is designed for students who want to develop a thorough understanding of religious experience and behaviour, while at the same time pursuing another Major or Minor in order to complete their degree. The Major will give you a foundation in methods used to study religion and will allow you to pursue topics that interest you when selecting the remainder of your courses. The Major will equip you with cultural knowledge and critical skills that can be applied in many fields, such as communications, public administration, law, business, education, and health. The table below includes only the discipline-specific courses. Please refer to the Academic Regulations for information on the Honours bachelor's with double major and the Honours bachelor's with major and minor. The French immersion stream is available when taken as part of an honours degree. Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2025-2026 calendars for the previous requirements. The number of units at the 3000 level can be reduced according to the number of courses already taken at the 3000 level.
