- Minor Minors must take 15 credits, including RELS 110 or equivalent, any RELS 200 (Elective Group A), and any RELS 300 (Elective Group B) plus 6 additional credits in Religious Studies. A minimum grade of C is required for credit toward the minor. Religious Studies Honors Thesis Students with a 3.5 or greater cumulative index are eligible to develop a year-long independent research project under the supervision of a major reader and a second reader. In fall semester, the student registers for RELS 481 Religious Studies Honors Thesis . In the spring, the student will present a completed and revised honors thesis RELS 482 Honors Thesis II to the readers. Upon the successful completion of this process, the Religious Studies Department will award the student with honors recognition. Courses Meeting the University Religious Studies Requirements In addition to the major and minor, the Department of Religious Studies promotes the mission of Manhattan University by providing a contemporary, person-centered educational experience characterized by high academic standards, reflection on faith, values, and ethics, and lifelong career preparation. These goals are accomplished through our nine-credit requirement for all students that includes: 1. One course that introduces the study of religion as an academic discipline and global phenomenon: RELS 110. 2. One course that explores the riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition: any course chosen from RELS 200-299 (Elective Group A) 3. One course that raises awareness of global and/or contemporary issues: any course chosen from RELS 300-399 (Elective Group B) Our goals for students include an ability to critically read and analyze religious texts, a facility with the methods of the academic study of religion, a familiarity with specific religious traditions, and an understanding of the role that religion plays in contemporary life. The introductory course focuses on a particular theme while introducing students to some of the research tools used in the academic study of religion.
