Master of Arts in Religious Studies

Our department is made up of internationally known faculty and talented graduate students (and some pretty amazing undergrads too) who are engaged in cutting-edge research. Our selective graduate program offers students the opportunity for close study with faculty members and a great deal of flexibility in planning and pursuing the focus of their advanced training, with exciting new concentrations in Transnational Religions, Hermeneutics and History, and Analytics of Power. Our prime location in the heart of U.S. religious diversity and on the rim of the Pacific Ocean offers rich resources for archival, ethnographic, linguistic, and textual research, among others, and the impressive density of academic institutions in Southern California offers immense opportunities for students to enrich their studies through connections to scholars at other institutions as well as to those in other departments at UCR. If you’re a prospective graduate student, please take the time to check out our department pages (though be aware that, like L.A. freeways, there are always a few under construction at any given time). If you can’t find the information you need, please drop us an email or make a phone call We’re looking forward to hearing from you. The terminal M.A. allows students to explore the academic study of religions more broadly and is geared toward students who wish to expand their study of religions in an academic environment but may not, or not yet, wish to pursue a career in academia. Students completing a terminal M.A. may choose the M.A.-I, which requires an article-length Master’s thesis suitable for publication and prepares students especially to continue on to a Ph.D. program, or the M.A.-II, which offers a flexible capstone experience suitable for those seeking training in the field for work in other areas such as museums, K-12 education, nonprofits, journalism, or public policy. NOTE: Per University of California regulations, students who already hold a master’s degree in the study of religion may not enroll in this program. This rule does not pertain to those holding advanced applied degrees in religion, such as degrees in theology (e.g., MTS) or ministry (e.g., M.Div., D.Min.).
