Knowledge of global religious traditions provides the basis for a career in a humanitarian profession or any career that includes embracing a diverse workforce. You will learn to engage in critical thinking skills and to analyze and write about comparative worldviews. Religious studies can prepare you for a career in law, medicine, journalism, nonprofit and social service organizations, or any career path that you choose.
