Religion in America

The religion in America minor focuses on the study of religious traditions, people, history, and ideas in the American, particularly United States, context. Students explore traditions both endemic and imported to the United States, as well as themes of religious and national identity; the intersectionality of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and religion in American society; and the relationship between religion and American culture. The minor enables students to situate themselves in both American history and contemporary society to find a new lens for understanding themselves, their various professional paths, and the world around them.
