Most Comparative Religion majors are double majors. Some of those have minors, or even double minors, as well. We're proud of our students' strengths and ambitions!

Here are some of the majors and minors that our students have pursued alongside religion. Note the range of professional interests with which the study of religion can be combined. What combination would serve your career goals?

A flexible program

Because the study of religion supports many different career paths, there is no single prescribed track for studying religion at Miami.

As a Comparative Religion major or minor, you have flexibility to choose courses that will support your career objectives. Only one course is required of all religion majors: an introduction to theory and methods. At every other stage of the major, you choose what courses you take. The same is true of the minor.

Furthermore, the major requires you to take 15 hours of electives outside the Comparative Religion department. You choose these courses from fields including languages, political science, anthropology, sociology, psychology, geography, history, media studies, American studies, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies. This "related hours" requirement makes it easier to double-major in religion and a related field. Most importantly, the requirement lets you customize your program of study to your professional interests.
