What different schools have to offer when it comes to studying religion
In 2000, the American Academy of Religion completed a survey of religion and theology programs in the U.S. and Canada. Almost 900 programs or departments responded, revealing the sheer size and scope of the field. Many of these respondents (over 50%) were part of religious institutions, particularly Protestant and Catholic schools. The other half belonged to public or private, non-religious colleges or universities. If you are considering studying religion, the distinction between a religious school and a non-sectarian institution can be quite important, but it is difficult to generalize. Information on the study of religion must be collected on a case-by-case basis. Find it by consulting the following sources, which will allow you to gather information about individual departments and programs:- U.S. Department of Education College Navigator (browse by major)
- Religion Majors (primarily used for departmental review)
