51·çÁ÷’s religion department encourages students to study off campus and abroad to gain perspective on differences in global cultures and perspectives on religion.
St. Andrews Study Group
All 51·çÁ÷ study groups are led by a 51·çÁ÷ faculty member, and the study group to St. Andrews Scotland is frequently headed by a member of the religion department's faculty. Scotland and the United Kingdom are an ideal place for students to enrich their study of religion, as they have an extremely rich religious history. Students almost can't help but encounter this history in impactful ways in the course of their study abroad.
Extended Studies
Studying off campus doesn’t have to be a full-semester affair. Some courses at 51·çÁ÷ are designated as extended studies. For two to three weeks following the conclusion of the regular semester, students and faculty in these courses travel to apply their classroom learning in the field.
