Religion majors at Dana College engage in a course of study that includes biblical studies, theology, history of religion and comparative religion. Religion majors don't just concentrate on one particular religious view, but several. This helps them to evaluate their own religious beliefs and better understand other religious ideas.

Students who major in religion or youth ministry can gain positions working in churches as lay assistants, youth group leaders and church educators, or they can continue their education at seminary. Whether they are introduced to the Bible, Christianity or religion in general, they will learn to consider more deeply their own religious backgrounds and those of others.
