These diverse belief systems are studied not just for their influence over past generations but also to better understand their role in modern issues.<\/p>\n<p>Religious Studies is not just for students planning to go on to become a priest, rabbi or minister. The program provides excellent preparation for all careers that require critical thinking, logic, analysis and writing skills. Because of the breadth of the subject matter, students graduate with a global perspective, an appreciation for different viewpoints and substantive knowledge about ethics and core belief systems of the past and present.<\/p>\n<p>UWM students in Religious Studies take courses in history, anthropology, philosophy, political science, classics, art history, literature, and more. Many students also complement their major with studies in the foreign language since many religions have traditions and foundations in another language.<\/p>\n<p>Students will also find a very active student organization - the Religious Studies Student Organization. The group brings in speakers and engages with the local community on scholarly topics of interest.<\/p>\n<h2>Double Major<\/h2>\n<p>It often is possible to complete a double major in Religious Studies and another subject. This is the case particularly when a student already has undertaken the major in the other field but has credits in religion courses as well. The student often can take courses that count for both Religious Studies and the other major. Interested students should consult with the Program Director.<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"uwm-c-link--arrow\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cost-aid\/\">Cost and Financial Aid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"uwm-c-link--arrow\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/religiousstudies\/students\/career-resources-job-outcomes\/\">Career Resources and Job Outcomes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Major<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/undergrad-admission\/apply\/\" rel=\"\">Start Your Application<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/religiousstudies\/students\/declare-your-minor\/\" rel=\"\">Declare a Major<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>\/**\/<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\"><hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-m-0\" \/><\/div>\n  \n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80\">\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div id=\"details-main\" class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-tabs\" data-tabs-prefix-class=\"uwm-p-tabs\"><ul class=\"uwm-p-tablist\" data-hx=\"h2\"><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-major-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-major-advising\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Advising<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-major-career\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Career<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent\">\n<div id=\"tab-major-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<p>Listed below are the requirements for the Religious Studies major.

Letters &amp; Science students typically work with at least two different types of advisors as they pursue their degrees: professional college advisors and faculty advisors. L&amp;S college advisors advise across your entire degree program while departmental faculty advisors focus on the major.<\/p> <p>College advisors are located in Holton Hall (or virtually for online students) and serve as your primary advisor. They are your point person for your questions about navigating college and completing your degree. College advisors will:<\/p> <ul> \t<li>Assist you in defining your academic and life goals.<\/li> \t<li>Help you create an educational plan that is consistent with those goals.<\/li> \t<li>Assist you in understanding curriculum, major and degree requirements for graduation, as well as university policies and procedures.<\/li> \t<li>Provide you with information about campus and community resources and refer you to those resources as appropriate.<\/li> \t<li>Monitor your progress toward graduation and completion of requirements.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Faculty advisors mentor students in the major and assist them in maximizing their development in the program. You will begin working with a faculty advisor when you declare your major. Faculty advisors are an important partner and will:<\/p> <ul> \t<li>Help you\u00a0understand major requirements and course offerings in the department.\u00a0<\/li> \t<li>Explain opportunities for internships and undergraduate research and guide you in obtaining those experiences.<\/li> \t<li>Serve as an excellent resource as you consider potential graduate programs and career paths in your field.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Students are encouraged to meet with both their college advisor and faculty advisor at least once each semester.
