What can I do with a religious studies major after graduation?

The major in religious studies focuses on critical thinking, critical writing and empirical study about the diverse worldviews that influence human identities and activity. It is an excellent preparation for graduate study (e.g., the Ph.D. in religious studies, anthropology, sociology, history, and other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences) as well as pursuing professions for which autonomous and synthetic thinking and writing are required, such as law, public policy, non-profit leadership, social justice and organizing, social work, mental health, diplomacy, public service, managing virtual and physical information systems and libraries, marketing, journalism, military/hospital/institutional chaplaincy and ministry.
