Description
Majors choose one of the three areas above as a pre-professional concentration. They use nine s.h. of complementary course work in another program, department, or school toward their Religion and Contemporary Issues major. This makes it easy to double-major and builds religious literacy into pre-professional development. Majors then take religion courses grouped within their concentration (Health, Law, or Media) to focus on the role of religion in their future careers. Finally, the remainder of their religion courses is elected from among any in religion or Jewish studies.
