2009-2010 School of Religion Program Handbook (PDF)

(For the most up-to-date handbook info, please download the pdf file above)

The School of Religion awards the Master of Arts degree and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in six areas. Each area has a faculty director and at least three graduate faculty members. Specialized research is a hallmark of religious studies in Claremont, but there is also strong administrative and faculty support for exceptional students who wish to work in more than one area, including other areas and departments outside of the School of Religion.

Additional doctoral support comes from other graduate departments at the university as well as undergraduate and seminary faculty in other areas of study: Islamic Studies, Buddhist Studies, Hindu Studies, African Religions, Jewish Studies, Sociology of Religion, Psychology of Religion, Religion and the Arts, and Religion and Literature. One or more of these areas may be explored in conjunction with one of the six areas in which we offer degrees.
