Student Resources

The Religious Studies Program is designed for three types of students:

• Those who desire exposure to the academic study of religion as a worthy component of their liberal arts education.
• Those who are pursuing advanced degrees in the academic study of religion or allied disciplines or sub-disciplines (e.g., history of religions, religion and literature, religion and psychology, ethics, philosophy)
• Those who are seeking courses on topics relating to religion to fulfill distribution requirements

To all students, our major offers an excellent opportunity to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the intricate ways in which religious traditions inform human thought and behavior.

The UWM Religious Studies Program hosts lectures, conferences, symposia, and periodic social gatherings for faculty members and students throughout the academic year to foster a sense of intellectual community.
