Department of Religion

At Cornell, we understand that the study of religion is a journey of mind, body, heart and soul. We therefore endeavor to bridge the gap between the scholarly and the personal, the theoretical and the practical, as we explore traditions from around the world, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and more.

Cornell's One-Course-At-A-Time calendar allows us to take our time and explore topics in depth. The block plan also gives our students unparalleled opportunities for off-campus learning, internships, and independent study.
