The earliest known Latin root of religion, religio, had several interpretations, including “reverence for God or the gods,” and “careful pondering of divine things.” Religio itself is thought to come from the Latin “re” (again) and “ligare” (to bind; to connect): “to reconnect.” And indeed, religion at its best brings people together through faith and commitment, and connects and reconnects people through service and compassion. Generally, those who enter religion as a vocation see it as a calling and a privilege. If this is you, explore the religious studies degree programs for one that fits your purpose. Choose from programs in ministry, divinity, pastoral counseling, Christian leadership, theological studies, and more. Religion programs are offered online, on campus, and in blended format, a combination of campus and online study.
