The religion program at Transylvania seeks to help students better understand themselves within an increasingly complex and diverse world, better understand the role and contribution of religions within cultures, and better understand and exemplify the skills and sensibilities of a liberally educated person.
Beginning in the introductory course, students examine issues related to religious thought and practice within their religious tradition and within a global context. Courses cover the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, the Judaeo-Christian tradition, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and special topics.
Faculty members combine a theoretical and analytical approach with sensitivity to a life of faith and discernment. A major or minor in religion will help you become theologically grounded, historically informed, and capable of reading and interpreting the texts of various religious traditions.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.
