The major in religious studies provides a versatile preparation for graduate study and/or a career in a wide variety of fields. The knowledge and critical thinking skills that students acquire prepares them for assuming leadership roles in careers in law, ministry, business, public policy, psychology, human services, writing, medical research, environmental studies, social work and others. The major is also an ideal second major, enhancing any other major at Meredith with the ability to deepen and expand their understanding of the religious and ethical issues in their area of study.
