The Department of Religionat Ashland UniversityThe Department of Religion is an important part of the liberal arts education offered at Ashland University. All students take at least one course in the Department and many take more than that.
Students like what they find. While few declare religion as a major when they first set foot on campus, a significant number choose to major or minor in the subject during their course of study at Ashland.
Located in the new Rinehart Center for Religious Studies, this department enables students to explore the major fields of Biblical studies, Christian theology, history of Christianity and Christian thought, practical theology, Christian ethics and the world's major religious traditions. The academic study of religion challenges students to develop critical analytic skills that are applicable in all fields in the liberal arts. Many of our majors go on to graduate school in religion, study in seminaries, teach religion in primary and secondary schools, or other types of lay ministries such as mission work or social service. What is true for all our students is that taking courses in the Department of Religion fulfills the Mission of Ashland University by better preparing them for the purpose of leading meaningful lives in the world community. |
