SCC Program Description
Religious Studies is perhaps the most interdisciplinary field in higher education. Religious Studies encompasses philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychology, folklore, literature, and languages, among many other disciplines. A broad and deep knowledge of the comprehensive worldviews presented by the world’s religions prepares the student well for navigating an increasingly complex world.
Students in the Religious Studies program earn the Associate of Arts, preparing them to transfer to a four-year program. When students follow the correct transfer path, they enter transfer partner universities as juniors. Courses are available in person (day and evening) and online.
The minimum time to complete the Associate of Arts degree is four full-time (15-16 credit hours) semesters for students with no pre-existing college credit.
