2022-2023 Edgewood College Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Religious Studies, BA
|
|
Rooted in the Catholic and Dominican traditions where “faith seeks understanding,” Religious Studies at Edgewood College employs academic inquiry, scholarly research, experiential learning and intellectual reflection to examine the religious experience and its multiple expressions. In so doing, we develop our critical and intellectual capacities; expand the understanding of ourselves and our world; deepen our own spiritualities and commitments; and cultivate genuine respect and appreciation for the truths and values expressed in the traditions and spiritualities of others.
