After Graduation

As an academic major in the humanities, the study of religion is like a history or English major: It imposes no limitations. But it also lends its own particular strengths to a number of different career choices.

Religion majors have successfully gone on to professional training in:

• Christian ministry of all types
• Business (particularly international business)
• Counseling and social work
• Education
• Journalism
• Law
• Medicine

Others have moved directly into the job market, taking up positions in:

• Event planning, hospitality or the service industry
• Government, foreign service or the Peace Corps
• Marketing and management
• Museums and the arts
• Nonprofit or non-governmental organizations
• Publishing
