A religious studies degree program, whatever its focus, has the purpose of intellectually challenging its students—of guiding you in the study of the diverse tenets and traditions of faith around the globe. As the world grows, so does the need and opportunity for the study of religion.

More than 80% of the world professes belief in a higher power. The human population is expanding at a jaw-dropping rate, yet globalization and the effects of technology make us ever-closer and more accessible to each other. (cont.)

For you, as someone considering a degree in religious studies, the sum effect of these is a pattern of opportunity: a close understanding of religion and faith is becoming increasingly relevant; and today's internet technology lets you pursue a competitive degree in religious studies entirely online.

Should your career path take you up to leadership roles within your church or temple, a religious studies degree is an excellent precedent to attending seminary or otherwise pursuing a theology degree.

If, on the other hand, your goals have a non-clergy focus, a religious studies degree will open up all manner of professional training and positions, such as:

  • Religious systems management
  • Counseling & social work
  • Life ministries
  • Education
  • Non-profit organizations & government work
  • Publishing
  • Museums & the arts
  • Business marketing & management

In the academic arena, an online religious studies degree will qualify you for graduate-level study in theology and divinity—as well as outside the religious realm, in disciplines as varied as education, medicine, business, and law.
