Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- In consultation with concentration faculty, students will develop a program of thirty credit hours over and above REL5035 (Theory and Method in the Study of Religion). Students must take classes from at least three different REP faculty and no classes taken on an S/U basis can be counted towards REP course requirements.
- Reading knowledge of one language of research is required. Classes taken to fulfill this requirement are not counted toward the thirty credit hour requirement for the M.A. degree.
- Students may petition REP faculty to write an MA thesis under the supervision of an REP faculty member. If this petition is approved, students will take eight classes in addition to REL 5035, leading to a thesis-based MA degree.
