The Religion Department equips students of all backgrounds and traditions to interpret, evaluate, and respond to religious ideas and practices. The work of the department is shaped by the college\u2019s Lutheran heritage and commitments as they unfold in a world of many faiths.<\/h4>\n

Students often find that their religion major complements their work in other disciplines and helps them to develop a focus for their entire liberal arts education. The department prepares students to pursue a range of vocational and career paths, including leadership roles in academia, religious organizations, education, business, journalism, law, medicine, and community and social-justice activism.<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t
