The Religious Studies minor at Columbia College offers students an in-depth exploration of world religions, religious traditions, and the cultural, social, and philosophical issues surrounding faith and belief systems. Through a diverse curriculum, students engage with religious texts, historical contexts, and contemporary debates, fostering a deeper understanding of the role of religion in shaping societies and human experiences. This program equips students with critical thinking, analytical, and cross-cultural communication skills that are highly transferable to various career fields. Whether you plan to pursue a career in education, counseling, non-profit work, law, government, or international relations, a background in Religious Studies provides a strong foundation for understanding complex global issues and working effectively in diverse environments.

Minors
A minor is defined as a course of study of at least 18 semester hours outside the student’s major. Academic minors may be earned in disciplines as specified by the department faculty. Requirements are a grade point average of 2.0 or higher for 18 or more semester hours. Courses for the minor may also meet general education or major requirements, and at least 9 of the required hours must be earned in Columbia College coursework. (Transfer courses equivalent to courses designated are accepted toward the minor.) Majors and minors may not be added to an already earned degree. In some curricular areas, the College offers courses totaling fewer than 18 semester hours. In these areas, students may earn additional semester hours through transfer credit so the total semester hours earned meets the required number of hours (see Evaluation of Credit and Testing ). Main Campus Day students can participate in cooperative cross-enrollment with the University of Missouri - Columbia and/or Stephens College (see Advising and Registration ). |
