The major in Theology & Religious Studies consists of a minimum of 10 courses:

Lower Division Course

• TRS 97: The Bible and Its Interpretation

Upper Division Courses
 

• TRS 169: Theory and Method in the Study of Religion
• Five area courses (one class from each of the following areas, chosen in consultation with the chair):
• Christian History
• Scripture
• Contemporary Christian Thought
• Ethics
• World Religions

• Three elective courses (chosen in consultation with the chair)

TRS Majors are encouraged to take the “Intensive Inquiry” course offered in a specific TRS area (such as Christian History or Scripture) each semester by the department. "Intensive Inquiry" courses are designed to offer students who have already taken two Theology & Religious Studies classes an opportunity to pursue particular areas of study in a more focused and in-depth manner than is usually possible in regular TRS coursework.
