Information for Incoming Students
Because the 宗教 Department at Bowdoin does not require students to take REL 1101 Introduction to the Study of 宗教 in order to enroll in its intermediate or upper level courses, there is more than one entry point into the department's curriculum.
REL 1101 Introduction to the Study of 宗教, is comparative in approach and lays out the theoretical contours of the field. Since it is an excellent preparation for intermediate and 先进的 level courses in the department, potential majors should enroll in it as early as possible. Students are introduced to a theme or topic in at least two religious traditions and to various methodologies and specialized vocabularies employed in the field.
The 宗教 Department has begun to offer an additional 1000-level course every year. This year, that course will be in the spring semester. Finally, first-year students are welcome to enroll in our 2000-level courses. The 宗教 Department at Bowdoin is one of the few departments that regularly offers courses at the 2000-level in which students closely examine a particular topic or area (e.g. 基督教, 佛教, 圣经, 伊斯兰教), and many students do begin with a 2000-level course.
