About

Overview In the Religion program of Haverford College you will find faculty and students who are fascinated by the diversity of human expressions of meaning, eager to work across disciplinary boundaries, and energized by a departmental community that is as collaborative as it is demanding.Curriculum & CoursesWith faculty possessing expertise in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and African American religions, as well as a range of methodologies, we engage students in the breadth of religious studies scholarship. At the same time, we foster the analytical skills necessary to independent and critical thinking. And we encourage our undergraduates to enhance their investigations through coursework in departments throughout the College.Religion majors fashion a course of study around one of three designated concentrations: Religious Traditions in Cultural Context; Religion, Literature, and Representation; or Religion, Ethics, and Society. Each affords students exceptional mentorship and support in addition to great flexibility in subject matter.Research & OutreachAll religion majors produce a thesis—a work of original research—over the course of their senior year. During the fall semester, students define a topic, narrow its focus, and formulate a proposal. In the spring, they participate in the Senior Seminar in Religion—in which they share their work with faculty and peers and receive and offer valuable feedback—and bring their projects to fruition. After submitting their theses, each religion major participates in an oral discussion with department faculty.After GraduationHaverford’s religion majors graduate with the broad skills and perspectives that are the hallmarks of a liberal arts education. On top of that, they possess a keen understanding and appreciation of multiculturalism and a rigorous and intensely humanistic approach to behavior. Prepared to pursue advanced graduate degrees in religious studies or other areas, they are also equipped to enter careers in a great range of fields. I want to find another Bachelor Course
