Religion Major

Colleges and Universities A-Z Barnard College
1

<p>I’m pretty well aware that this tends to be a small major at most colleges, but does anyone know anything about what the Religion major is like at Barnard? I developed an interest in the major over the summer, when I had previously loved Barnard for the English program (though I’m sure the Religion Department maintains a similar level of excellence) and I would really appreciate any bits of wisdom someone might be willing to dole out. </p>

<p>I’d be particularly interested in knowing whether each world religion is well represented (which I guess means that I’d hope the major isn’t dominated by Judeo-Christian courses). I’m really interested in Eastern religions…would that be an easy avenue to pursue in the department?</p>

<p>Any information would be woonnnderful.</p>
