宗教
While many of 资本’s 宗教 students have an interest in 部 Studies, an equally strong group of students pursue the academic study of religion more generally, developing interests in world religions, 宗教与文学, 历史, 和神学. 资本 students often pursue a second major, 包括英国文学, 创意写作, 心理学, 业务, 艺术疗法. 宗教 faculty also administers the Pre-Seminary program at 资本, in which students from any major may work toward admission to seminary programs and employment in a wide range of professional ministry settings. Graduates are participating in ordained ministry nationally and internationally, and they're working in a wide variety of programs and occupations, demonstrating the value and flexibility of 资本’s religion program.

“The academic study of religion is different than going to church. When speaking about faith, we preface that faith is the 'lens' we are looking through. This is really important because we have so many students of various faiths or religious traditions on campus. A college setting is good preparation for how to speak respectfully and to ask questions in a way that offers validity.”
-Moriah Reichert, 宗教, Class of 2019
