The Religion (RN) area of specialization introduces students to religion as a significant and pervasive element in human culture. Through study of a variety of religious traditions, students will learn about the history, beliefs and practices of the world’s religions. Emphasis on method and theory and religion’s comparative dimensions enables students to read and analyze current literature. Students will be able to locate and use reference tools and demonstrate the ability to communicate independent, critical perspectives. For career information visit the UF Career Connections Center.
