Religious Studies Honors Program

Honors Program Expands Religious Studies
The honors program is open by departmental invitation to declared Religious Studies majors with a minimum 3.25 cumulative GPA and a 3.5 GPA in Religious Studies courses.
Students complete RLST 480, RLST 483, RLST 493, and HNRC 499, which fulfills the Liberal Studies Synthesis requirement. To determine how honors track courses will be integrated into existing requirements for the Religious Studies major, students should consult their advisors.
To apply, students must petition the department honors committee for admission no earlier than the completion of their sophomore year. An application must be filed with the chairperson of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies and should include an application form, a letter of intent, a description of the work plan, a full transcript, and two letters of recommendation from faculty members.
