Departmental Distinction

A student majoring in religious studies with a minimum overall GPA of 3.000 and a 3.500 GPA in the major by the middle of the junior year may apply for the degree with departmental distinction. Candidates for distinction must enroll in a directed research tutorial in the fall term of their senior year followed by an independent studies course in the spring term for which they will write a senior thesis. Only the directed research tutorial may be used to fulfill the 30-term-hour requirement for the major.
