Religious Studies Major Advising Sheet

Study Abroad for Religious Studies Majors

AU Abroad, in consultation with the Department of Philosophy and Religion, offers a selection of programs suited for Religious Studies majors. These programs are recommended based on the academic quality of the host institution’s course offerings in your major. In addition to the following programs, students can also explore other options through AU Abroad.

The Department of Philosophy and Religion recommends that students study abroad during their junior year.  

Religion related courses taken abroad will count toward the Religious Studies major requirement of nine credits to be taken outside the Department of Philosophy and Religion.

Below is a selection of highlighted study abroad programs.  NOTE--The list below contains recommended options only.  Students are not limited to just these programs!  For a comprehensive listing of options, complete university descriptions, and course listings, please visit AU Abroad brochure webpages.
