Religion and Culture

About

Please note that we are not accepting applications for this program, as it is on indefinite hiatus.

The University of Saskatchewan M.A. in Religion and Culture program is a broad program involving significant critical exposure to religious traditions of the East and the West along with some familiarity with the methodological and thematic issues involved in academic study of religion. Our course offerings demonstrate this breadth of perspectives, which range from focused explorations of particular religious traditions (e.g., Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity) to cross-cultural comparisons of religious views on such topics as leadership, non-violence, and death.

Students entering into the M.A. in Religion and Culture may opt for one of three areas of specialization:

Western Religious Traditions
Eastern Religious Traditions
Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspectives.

Students normally take two years to complete the degree.
