Religious-Studies Department Website

The academic and scientific study of religion has always held a prominent position in institutions of higher learning. The religious studies department at La Roche College continues in this tradition. The major in religious studies is concerned with the academic study of religion in its historical and cultural context. The courses introduce students to the variety of areas of academic pursuit in religious studies, demonstrate the interface of religious studies and theology with the social sciences and enable students to understand, analyze, apply and evaluate theological methodologies and theories as they relate to human experience and existence.
