Bachelor's in Religious Studies

Religious Studies is a Bachelor program taught at Pitzer College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

The Religious Studies major at Pitzer College studies the beliefs, history, and practices of at least two distinct religious traditions. Students learn how religions emerge, shape societies, and change over time, and they develop a specialization through a choice of religious tradition, philosophical theme, historical period, or geographic area.

The major includes specialization courses at intermediate and advanced levels, two integrative courses (RLST 180 PO and RLST 190 PO), three elective courses outside the specialized field, and a one-semester senior thesis (RLST 191 PO). Instruction happens in a cooperative program at the Claremont Colleges, with access to master’s-level courses at Claremont Graduate University with permission.
