The religion department provides students with an academic examination of various world religions. As globalization advances, an understanding of what motivates various religious cultures and how people find meaning and purpose in their lives, will greatly enhance students’ ability to interact successfully with the rest of the world. 

Through courses on the Hebrew Bible and the life of Jesus, and term courses on Buddhism and Islam, the department introduces students to world religions. All students are required to register for one term of religion and many take more. Popular courses are given on Ethics and Decision Making, and The Nature and Meaning of the Universe, which is often team-taught with the science department.
