Notes:

  • Religious Studies 203, 205 and either 201 or 273 are recommended.
  • When Religious Studies 577 is taken, the topic chosen for the Senior Project will determine the stream in which it will be counted.
  • Students are strongly advised to include in their programs relevant language courses (e.g., Classical Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Classical Chinese, Japanese, French, German) and relevant courses from other disciplines. Language courses related to a student's program of study in Religious Studies taken from inside the Department can be counted as part of the eight full-course equivalents in Religious Studies. With the approval of the Undergraduate Director, Language courses related to a student's program of study from other departments may also be counted toward the Major-Field requirements.
  • Early in their programs, students should consult with the Undergraduate Director in the Department of Religious Studies for guidance in selecting both required Religious Studies courses and appropriate courses from other disciplines.
  • In planning their programs, students should bear in mind that language courses and some senior courses are not offered every year.
