Religion

The Program in Religion at Hunter College is the oldest, largest and most comprehensive program of religious studies in the City University. It offers over eighty courses, including several courses in aspects of each of the major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism) as well as in the traditional religions of Africa, Oceania and the Americas; courses in various methodological approaches to the study of religions; and courses in specific issues (such as faith and disbelief, mysticism, myth and ritual, religious experience, the problem of evil, the meaning of love and sex, and the meaning of death) that are fundamental to all religions.

Only a letter grade (A, B, C, D, including + or -) will be accepted by the department for courses applied towards the major. Students cannot receive a grade of P/NC in any course used for the major.
