When
should I read the compulsory minor modules?

It
would be good to take the two compulsory modules

do so.

How
should I go about reading the modules under the
Religious Studies Minor especially with its different categories?
|
| |
Choose
according to your interests. The rule to keep in
mind is that you can credit no more than two courses
in each category toward the minor. This is to encourage
students to study religion from the various angles
of approach organized by the four categories. Also,
students are advised to study more than one religion
(i.e. you do not take ALL your electives in courses
focusing on one religious such as Buddhism or Islam).
