Minoring in Religion is ideal for students who desire a basic background in the world’s religious traditions but lack the flexibility in their schedules to complete a full major. The minor is designed to be flexible allowing students to chart their own path through the study of religious thought and practice both historically and in the world today. The minor requires 18 credits, 12 of which must be in upper-division courses (300-level or above). Any courses in the Department of Religion may count toward the minor. To learn more about the minor in Religion, please contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies Prof. Philip Anrold (pparnold@syr.edu) or the Religion Department Chair Prof. Gareth Fisher (gfisher@syr.edu).
