The religion concentration is designed to prepare students for graduate school, the ministry, involvement in the church and other careers, such as in the nonprofit sector. The program contains two subject areas – history and religion – each cultivating a critical skill set for future graduates.
Students will develop expertise in:
Students engage in discussions about the “big” questions of life and become involved in evaluating a variety of viewpoints. In the process, they develop the ability to assess evidence, to weigh arguments and to construct informed opinions.
Students who have selected another major, may choose a minor in religion, which trains students in the same set of skills but in a more condensed framework.
My name is Vinton Copeland, and I was fortunate to graduate from what was then Tusculum College in 2013. Tusculum gave me a solid foundation for the things I am doing and have done in the past, and I am forever grateful. I currently serve as the pastor of a great church in West Georgia (Powell Missionary Baptist Church), a firefighter for Columbus Fire & EMS and a new realtor with Coldwell Banker KPDD of Columbus. I must admit that I have been privileged because of my Tusculum experience.
Students with a concentration or minor in religion do the same things – in approximately the same percentages – that other humanities and social science majors do. Religion graduates often go on to further career training and jobs in:
Professional Ministry
Advanced Degrees
Other Careers
