Bachelor of Arts in Religion

University of Indianapolis

UIndy’s program is for students like you who want to wrestle with questions of faith and the church from the past, the present, and into the future. Coursework takes you way beyond a Sunday school class as you delve into church history, theology, philosophy, the nature of sin, and more. After exploring the Bible as a historical document, you will gain a greater understanding of the cultural contexts of Christianity. And that’s a good way to have a solid foundation for your future.
With a degree in religion from UIndy, you'll gain insight both into the greater faith traditions of the church and also into your own calling in life. Graduates from UIndy's Philosophy & Religion Department have had successful careers in fields from the expected (like ministry or education) to others that may surprise you (like law, social work, public administration and business). The skills you can gain with a major in philosophy or religion translate well to many jobs and experiences and can prepare you to seek out your own vocation in a variety of settings.
