专业描述

A major or minor in Theology and Religious Studies prepares students for the demands of a rapidly changing world, keeping with the university’s justice and service-orientated educational mission. Religion is one of the most powerful social forces shaping the world of the 21st century. At the University of San Francisco, we believe that an understanding of religious traditions, a passion for social justice, and sensitivity for cultural difference help students navigate our religiously complex world. Our Curriculum The undergraduate major and minor programs explore systematically and critically human religious experiences in different cultures, so that students may become familiar with major religious traditions, values and symbols. Professors encourage students to explore the religious dimensions of their own lives; appreciate the role of religion in life, drawing conclusions about human dignity and rights, human freedom and responsibility; and develop awareness of the relationship between faith and justice.
