Why Choose the Religious Studies Minor?

The purpose of a minor in Religious Studies is to introduce our students to the religious and philosophical thoughts and institutions of the world, both ancient and modern. To understand the religious and philosophical component of human experience has enormous value, and is of great importance, in our world; for it enriches our understanding of ourselves and our culture, and expands our understanding of the experience and culture of others by introducing us to the experiences and cultures of the world.

Admission Requirements

This Religious Studies minor is open to any student admitted to Ferris State and pursuing a baccalaureate degree. The minor is designed to compliment any Ferris major program.
