The Department of Religious Studies offers courses that reflect the research expertise of the faculty. Many religious studies seminars are small, limited to 15 students, allowing for deep exploration of the material and low student-to-professor ratios.
The University of Oregon course catalog offers degree plans and a complete list of courses in the Department of Religious Studies.
