REL-483: Interfaith Studies Senior Seminar

This course is the one-credit capstone seminar of the Interfaith Studies concentration. It will bring students in the concentration together from their different disciplinary and pre-professional programs to reflect together upon their learning while in concentration courses and to explore how the core competencies of Interfaith Studies translate into their academic and professional areas of interest. Much of the course will involve interfaith case studies relevant to each of the range of academic and professional domains of the concentration (health series/pre-med; political science/pre-law; interfaith studies/pre-ministry; sociology/pre-social work; and communications/theatre. Emphasis will be on reflection upon cases and experiences, and public deliberation skills. An interview with a local religious leader will also be assigned.
