Religion and Christian Studies

Religion and Christian Studies

Students of religion seek to enrich their intellectual and spiritual lives, their thoughts, and their ethical choices as they prepare themselves for professional careers. The academic study of theology and religion provides these students with the opportunity to formulate responses to our world's most demanding questions.

Although working in a religious organization may seem the obvious career choice, many graduates pursue careers in humanitarian, medical, philanthropic, and other non-profit charitable organizations. Typical religion related careers are pastor, clergy, rabbi, minister. However, many other career opportunities such as teacher, professor, writer, counselor, administrator, lawyer, doctor, and more.

Clergy was named on of the Best Careers of 2009 by U.S. News & World Report.
