Welcome!

The Department of Religious Studies is located on the campus of California State University, Northridge. The program is designed to provide a liberal arts background with an emphasis upon religious traditions and phenomena. The department is non-sectarian and aims to serve all students with or without religious affiliation. Students of all religions and ethnic backgrounds are welcome to enroll in individual Religious Studies courses or to complete the Religious Studies major or minor.

Our faculty approach the subject of Religious Studies across many contexts and disciplines including philosophy, history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, literary, and scientific. The program is cross-cultural and interdisciplinary and emphasizes the woven ties of religion to other areas of culture.
