Why is Religious Studies an Interdisciplinary Program?
Because religious ideas and practices influence a host of human activities (history, politics, art, social dynamics, literature, and so forth), they are studied by scholars in a range of disciplines (history, political science, art, sociology, literary studies, and so forth). Because we draw upon the courses offered by faculty across these many disciplines, the Religious Studies Program at the University of Minnesota provides students with the most cutting-edge knowledge and approaches available. This range of approaches offers students extraordinary range in developing their programs.
