Note about Social/Behavioral Sciences CC Recommendations: Major requires 12 total hours of Science Science electives from 3 different NC State disciplines. Choose appropriate coursework from ANT, ECO, POL, SOC and PSY.
Major Information: Religious studies is an interdisciplinary field that investigates human religious traditions in all their historical, cultural and doctrinal complexity and their impact on all aspects of human affairs. It gives you the opportunity to study the history, texts and practices of well-known religions — including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam — as well as lesser known religions, such as Vodou or Wicca.
Rather than approaching religions from the standpoint of believers, our program allows you to investigate these complicated traditions of beliefs and practices from a neutral perspective, seeking to understand:
-
how they have come about,
-
what they are made of,
-
why their practitioners do what they do and
-
how they affect other aspects of humanity, culture, society and politics.
For more information, please consult the program website.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all listed courses are major requirements and not fulfilled through CAA eligibility of associate degree transfer.
