Comparative Religious Studies
Degree Offerings
The major-minor advisor works closely with students to make curricular
choices that reflect their particular interests and academic preparation.
Because the program is small and flexible, we can give each student
personal attention.
All courses taken at California public institutions (community colleges
and CSU or UC campuses) and evaluated as equivalent to SJSU courses
are transferable to the undergraduate major and minor programs in
Religious Studies. On a case by case basis, the program coordinator
will consider all other requests to apply to the minor or major in
Religious Studies relevant courses taken elsewhere and transferred
to SJSU.
Bachelor of Arts
The Religious Studies Major degree offers comprehensive preparation
for those who plan to undertake graduate education in theology, history
of religions and other related areas. The major also provides preparation
for graduate education in law, business and the helping professions
as well as in any area of the social sciences or humanities where
in-depth knowledge of religion will be a distinct advantage in one's
career.
Minor
The Religious Studies minor degree offers a basic understanding of
religious beliefs and practices for those whose careers would benefit
significantly from a familiarity with some religious traditions, such
as those in teaching, journalism, business, social work, medicine
and law. The minor incorporates the study of religious traditions
with reflection on what religion is and how we understand it.
