Religious
study appeals to me in a way science and mathematics never could. I
also have discovered a new interest in teaching religion. I suppose I
had been
critical of teaching in the past because I had never been so excited and
involved in any topic prior to studying religion.
I would like to pursue
my Bachelor of Arts degree in religion at UNO, and if a masters program is
available by the time I graduate, I would like to finish my masters degree
at UNO as well. Otherwise, I intend to finish my study at either the
University of Chicago or the University of Wisconsin. I would like to
teach religious studies in a secular environment someday, and to try to
give students the same opportunity I had.
I would like to
recommend to anyone interested in religion to take at least an
introduction to philosophy with Halla Kim, because of the huge impact the
overlap can have on religious studies. Also, I have had great luck with
Dr. Desmarais and Dr. Stover within the Religion Department.

"I am
working towards a BA in religion, a BS in education and a minor in
Anthropology.
"Why am I a religion major? I want to
make a positive difference in the world. People fear what
 they
do not understand and so, as it is my belief that the most direct way one
can have a significant impact on the work is through education, it is my
goal to teach understanding and diversity in an attempt to spread acceptance.
"After graduating from UNO, I hope to study
interpretations of the Hebrew Bible, focusing on how individual
interpretations of text and doctrine affect individual realities. I hope
to teach at the high school and university level and one day become
involved in religious conflict resolution.
"My favourite classes are the ones in which I get to
argue." |
