Long noted for its strong faculty, commitment to diversity, and academic rigour, the Department of Religious Studies at McMaster has earned a reputation as one of the premiere departments of its kind in North America. Focused generally on studying major world religions through a variety of disciplines-anthropological, literary, historical, theological, and more – the strength of our programme comes from its balance of broad, interdisciplinary study with intense concentrations in several sub-disciplines.
