Religious Studies - Minor

The Department of Religious Studies offers a minor in religious studies in addition to the BA. The minor in religious studies allows students to learn about many of the world's longstanding religious traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Native and Indigenous traditions, while working toward a BA in another major at CU Boulder.  Minors will also gain familiarity with theoretical, comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to the academic study of religion through topics such as gender and sexuality, interreligious interactions, law, politics, ethics, sacred texts and decolonization. Students are subject to the College of Arts and Sciences minor requirements.

Requirements

Students must complete at least 18 credit hours in religious studies coursework, including at least 6 hours of lower division and 9 hours of upper division coursework. Students are allowed to apply no more than 9 credit hours, including 6 upper-division credit hours, of transfer work toward a minor.

All coursework applied to the minor must be completed with a grade of C- or better. No pass/fail work may be applied. The GPA for all RLST coursework must equal 2.00 or higher.
