Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Culture explores global faiths and their cultural interactions, examining topics such as human rights, religious freedoms, and multicultural coexistence, and the role of religion in shaping societies. Coursework draws on history, ethics, and cultural studies to analyze how religious traditions influence contemporary social and political life. The program is delivered primarily in person through face-to-face classes on campus and can be completed full-time or part-time. Students may pursue an accredited co-op stream that adds paid work experience to the degree. The Honours program normally takes four years of full-time study to complete and leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, preparing graduates for careers and further study in social justice, intercultural relations, education, law, and public service.
