The Minor in Religious Studies
Why minor in Religious Studies?
Are you someone who loves taking Religious Studies classes, but cannot fit in the classes necessary for a major or double-major? Then the minor in Religious Studies is for you! At CSUN you can have up to two majors and two minors, so this could be a great addition to your academic plans.
Similar to our major, the Religious Studies minor provides an intercultural and multi-disciplinary liberal arts education that can pair well with many majors. A minor in Religious Studies can help you stand out in job interviews and graduate school applications, especially if you are majoring in a field outside of the Humanities. It also improves your reading, writing, discussion, and analytical skills.
