Students who major in Religious Studies and Theology complete an independent research project on a topic of their choice. The project displays the student’s depth of knowledge in Religious Studies and Theology. The topic and details of the project must be developed with and approved by their advisor and the department. The completed project, typically a 15-20 page thesis paper, is submitted in the fall of the student’s senior year.
