Program Description

Religion is a central part of the human experience. It shapes our laws, government and culture. Students of religion gain a valuable understanding of our world and how different religious traditions motivate people. Our religion program will equip you to confront the challenges of a diverse global community. You’ll study how different cultures and faiths have answered the most fundamental questions: How do we explain human suffering? What is the meaning of life?

You’ll gain an understanding of global diversity by studying overseas. You’ll learn about the variety of religious traditions around the world, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and more. In a multicultural world, you’ll benefit from the ability to understand other people’s religious traditions. As a religion student at CMU, you can:
