The Minor

The 15-unit Minor is a less ambitious way to combine your major interests with the academic study of religion. Anyone who is interested in the beliefs, behavior, and values of other people would benefit from a Minor in religious studies. The minor in religious studies consists of a minimum of 15 units to include at least three lower division units in religious studies and 12 units selected from any of the four areas of study.

Courses in the minor may not be counted toward the major, but may be used to satisfy preparation for the major and general education requirements, if applicable. Courses taken for the minor may be applied toward the major, although students may not both major and minor in Religious Studies. A minimum of six upper division units must be completed in residence at San Diego State University.
