Religious Studies (Religion, Politics and Global Affairs), BA

Arizona State University - Kaplan International

The School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University is committed to maintaining excellence in the major fields of philosophy and to emphasizing its contemporary relevance. In the Bachelor of Arts program in religious studies with a concentration in religion, politics and global affairs, students consider how the study of religion expands the understanding of political culture, communal formation, governance, nationalism, statehood and citizenship in domestic and global contexts. Students explore religion's role in shaping political values, social movements, civic organizations and communal norms, with particular attention to how religion impacts issues of health, the environment, migration, peace, conflict, violence and various issues of social justice. Special consideration is given to the religious intersections of nationality, ethnicity, race, gender and other vital facets of human community and identity.
