Welcome to the Department of Religious Studies.
Religious Studies holds a significant place in the Liberal Arts curriculum, particularly in an institution founded in the Catholic tradition of higher education. The core courses, electives and major and minor programs seek to introduce students to the field of religion as an area open to disciplined scholarly inquiry; to assist students in developing an understanding of the nature and complexity of religious phenomena and experience; and to acquire an appreciation of the critical problems and issues involved in the study of religion.

The Department of Religious Studies is located on the 2nd floor of Spellman Hall. You can reach the office by (914) 633-2570 or send an e-mail message to Dr. Kim Paffenroth.
