Religion
Majoring & Minoring
A Religion major prepares you well for graduate work in a number of liberal arts fields (in addition to religion) and, for those seeking to pursue two majors, it is also an excellent complementary major to the range of those available at Southwestern. In addition, a Religion major is good for those seeking to pursue an education in the seminary.
