Religious Studies

Courses in the Religious Studies and Theology curriculum encourage students to reflect critically upon the meaning of life, of religious faith and of Christian living. As a Roman Catholic liberal arts institution, the University of Saint Joseph takes seriously the religious dimension of human life and considers the study of theology and religion an essential element of a truly liberal education. For this reason, every undergraduate student is required to take at least six credits (two courses) in Religious Studies and Theology to qualify for the bachelor’s degree.

While the majority of the courses in the program are approached from the perspective of the Roman Catholic tradition, several courses bearing upon other religious traditions are also offered.
