Course Title

Research Methods in Religious Studies

Description

Research Methods in Religious Studies (RMRS) is an upper level course required of all religion majors in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. Students enrolled in RMRS are required to have already taken and passed both ISR and SRE; thus they are expected to possess a working knowledge of the major themes and approaches to the study of religion. Building on this theoretical foundation, the goals of this course are primarily practical with the intention of providing students with hands on experience conducting research within the interdisciplinary field of religious studies. To this end, RMRS will be a student-driven seminar structured readings, hands-on assignments, student presentations and four short research projects.
