WELCOME The Department of Religion is housed in Peabody Hall. Our undergraduate program offers a wide range of classes in the academic study of religion. Our classes introduce students to different methodological approaches and allow them to focus on specific religious traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hindu traditions, Buddhist traditions, African Traditional Religions, and Native American religious traditions. In addition, we offer courses in African-American religion, religion and literature, science and religion, anthropology and religion, and women and religion. The Religion Major is designed to provide students with flexibility to explore their particular interests, while exposing them to a diversity of approaches and religious traditions. The Religion Minor is an attractive option for students who are majoring in other disciplines. WHY STUDY RELIGION? The study of religion gives students tools to understand themselves, one another, and the world. Read more about the personal and professional growth you gain from studying religion. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING It's a simple concept - when you learn by doing, you learn differently. You learn more. You learn beyond subject matter - you also learn about yourself. Therefore, all undergraduate students at UGA engage in experiential learning.
