Welcome to the Department of Religion

Thank you for visiting the webpage for the Department of Religion at the University of Georgia. We greatly appreciate our graduate students, majors, minors, and the many other students who come into contact with our department. We welcome inquiries from prospective students, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and we strive to provide a stimulating and supportive environment for our current students.
