Bachelor of Arts - Theology and Religious Studies

Religious Studies courses invite applicants to engage in questions posed since ancient times by various religions, and of Catholic Christianity in particular, such as the ultimate meaning of human existence in relation to God and the establishment of an ethical society. They are encouraged to appreciate the influence of religion throughout human history and in current global affairs as foundational for further, deeper reflection on religious belief as transformative of the human person in their theological, spiritual, artistic, social, ethical, narrative, and scriptural dimensions.

Saint Martin's University critically upholds the importance of the study of religions and the dynamics of faith in the light of reason and engagement with perspectives from other academic disciplines.

Religious studies at Saint Martin's University is an interdisciplinary academic program in which students with a variety of interests can explore various religious traditions, values and practices, and their impact on humanity. Although Judeo-Christian heritage is emphasized, the program fosters respect for and understanding of other religious traditions. As a Catholic, Benedictine institution, Saint Martin's is committed to an ecumenical and interfaith spirit that promotes peace, justice and social transformation.
