Religious Studies
Success After Wooster
The Religious Studies department generally has between 30-40 majors. Each year we host a number of functions to bring faculty and students together for discussion, speakers, and research talks. Our students know one another and the faculty members well. Because Religious Studies majors are quite diverse in terms of their interests and backgrounds, after graduation they pursue a wide range of careers. Many of our majors become teachers/professors, political staffers, librarians/archivists, social workers, lawyers, counselors, administrators, pastors/youth leaders, physicians, web page designers.
