Ohio State University’s BA in Religious Studies allows students to explore diverse religious traditions and worldviews through literature, philosophy, history, and anthropology. From ancient sacred texts to modern social movements, students examine how religion shapes identity, ethics, and global politics. The program emphasizes comparative analysis, critical theory, and interpretive skills, preparing students for careers in education, public service, nonprofit work, and graduate studies in religion, theology, or law.
