World Religions (minor only)

Introduction & Overview 

The World Religions minor at Manhattanville offers students the opportunity to study religion as a key factor shaping human culture, history, politics, and economics. Because religions deal with the most basic questions regarding life, love and death, courses in World Religions also provide students with insights into their own lived experience, and open ways of communication between people from different traditions. Many students find that a course in World Religions provides new perspectives on subjects they have explored elsewhere, or that a minor in World Religions complements their original major. Many of our students have gone on to graduate school while others have pursued faith-based careers, as well as careers in Education, Law, Medicine and Social Work.
