Religion is a fascinating object of study. Studying beliefs, practices, or, more broadly speaking, forms of human communication, religion can be approached through a variety of different lenses. Religion courses at Hofstra provide the tools students need to think critically and constructively, recognize the many different roles religion plays in public life and the way religions interact with and shape one another. Please explore our Web site to learn more about our department and the programs and courses we offer.
