Religious Studies (RELG) Courses

A series of courses designed to inform and add depth to the student's understanding of one of the most
powerful forces in any culture. The courses are designed so that they will serve as adequate preparation for transfer, yet they are essentially of intrinsic value and should be of equal benefit to the non-transfer student.
