Majors in Religion will be expected to achieve a degree of mastery in three areas
of the field as a whole. First, they will be expected to gain a close knowledge
of a particular religious tradition, including both its ancient and modern forms,
in its scriptural, ritual, reflective, and institutional dimensions. Ordinarily
this will be achieved through a concentration of courses within the major. A student
might also choose to develop a program of language in relation to this part of
the program, though this would not ordinarily be required for or count toward
the major.
Second, all majors will be expected to gain a more general knowledge of some
other religious tradition quite different from that on which they are concentrating.
Ordinarily this requirement will be met by one or two courses.
Third, all majors will be expected to gain a general knowledge of the theoretical
and methodological resources pertinent to the study of religion in all its forms.
It is further expected of Honors majors that their theses will demonstrate an
awareness of the theoretical and methodological issues ingredient in the topic
being studied.
