Religious Studies program offered at AUM

Did you know that AUM offers a program in religious studies? The Religious Studies option in the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (B.I.S.) can prepare students for a career in fields such as government, law, journalism, counseling, museum curator, non-profit organizations, social work, business, and the ministry (pre-seminary, chaplaincy, mission work). Faculty in Anthropology, History, English, Sociology, Philosophy, and World Languages & Cultures teach classes.

Within the Religious Studies Program, students can now take one full year (two semesters) of either Classical Hebrew, the language of the Old Testament, or Hellenistic Greek, the language of the New Testament. At the end of one year of language study, students should be able to do basic exegesis of passages in the original language with lexical aids.

To find out more information about this program, contact Dr. Michael Bland Simmons, Coordinator of Religious Studies, at 334-244-4528 or [email protected].
