Religion is the overarching framework that guides our actions and answers our deepest yearnings. At Thiel, the study of religion incorporates an examination of the rich theological heritage of the Judeo-Christian tradition as well as the examination of the diversity of religious belief and practice across the globe.

While many religion majors seek careers in the ministry or parish education, the study of religion can be an important component of personal growth and preparation. Whether you want to understand your own faith tradition or prepare for a future that increasingly requires knowledge of global cultures, a religion major or minor will provide insights and experiences that will extend far beyond the classroom.
