Religious Studies at Cal Poly
Who we are
Religious Studies is an academic discipline devoted to studying the many forms religions take around the globe from a variety of perspectives. As a public university, our classes do not presuppose any faith position nor are we hostile to faith positions. Our goal is to provide thought-provoking classes that look at important issues from a variety of perspectives.
Currently, Religious Studies is an academic program within the College of Liberal Arts that is administered through the Philosophy department. We offer a minor in Religious Studies and support a number of different opportunities for students and the community to reflect upon religion in our world.
