The School of Religion offers courses in all of the major areas of religious studies: Bible and ancient near eastern religion; theology and philosophy of religion; ethics; world religions; and historical, literary and scientific studies of religion. Courses are designed to facilitate the appreciation and critical evaluation of all religious traditions in the light of past and present scholarship. An opportunity is also provided to undergraduates to focus on the social and ethical contributions and implications of humankind's religious heritages; the school therefore offers courses in business ethics and medical ethics.
Students also have the opportunity to take courses at Hebrew Union College and receive regular USC course credit. Students have the option to take only an occasional course at Hebrew Union College, or they may declare a Judaic Studies major in religion (see the requirements indicated below and the listing under Judaic Studies for more information).
