Learning religious literacy, ethics and leadership skills
is useful in every application. My studies helped me with
compassion, critical thinking and analytical skills. Not only
that, but it taught me how to communicate with the people
around me [and] how to understand them.

The religious studies program has helped tremendously in my job as a pastor. While the primary focus of my studies was Christianity, I learned about other religions and how they often interact. Learning the contexts behind biblical passages, and how they have applied to people around the world throughout history has been an invaluable tool in addressing my responsibilities as a pastor.
At 缅北禁地, we build leaders through a liberal arts education. An Ethics and Interfaith Studies minor prepares students to lead in diverse contexts and contexts with diversity. That is, you will find yourself in workplaces and other environments in which diversity is present and in which you鈥檙e faced with ethical questions. How you respond to that diversity and those questions will determine whether you succeed as a leader or not. Simply put, gaining and practicing cross-cultural religious literacy and ethical awareness will help you flourish in whatever profession you choose.
