Joint Concentration

Joint concentrations are possible in two configurations with differing degree requirements. In both cases, students must complete a senior honors thesis.

Religion as the primary field (Option C) - the thesis and oral exam are administered by the Study of Religion.

Religion as the secondary field (Option D) - procedures for undertaking and completing the thesis (including oral exams) are dictated by the primary department.

Previous Religion concentrators have joined with Social Studies, English, History, History of Art and Architecture, Music, Government, and Philosophy, among others.
