The Department of Religious Studies offers a BA major, BA Honours, BA Minor and a Master's (MA) degree in Religious Studies.

We offer courses on all of the major religious traditions, on current issues, and on academic approaches to religious phenomena. The essential goal of these courses is to offer the student the opportunity to examine critically the realm of the religious in its varied manifestations and to elucidate some of the perennial issues about life and human destiny.

RLST courses are not designed to foster personal religious commitment or to evaluate to that end the relative merits of various religious practices, traditions, and points of view. The student of religious studies at the University of Regina not only learns to read and think critically but also acquires research skills that facilitate the study and appreciation of diverse cultures. 

Past students have used this global perspective and the tools acquired in the study of religion as background for careers in law, journalism, government, social work, education, medicine, business, and the church.

The Department of Religious Studies draws from a combination of faculty members in the Faculty of Arts, Luther College and Campion College at the University of Regina.
