Graduate Study of Religion at UCLA

Study at UCLA | Publications | Other Universities

Currently, the Center for the Study of Religion at UCLA does not sponsor any graduate degrees in the comparative study of religion. However, there are many opportunities to study religious topics at the graduate level at UCLA. There are several programs devoted to the study of particular religions at the university, and it is possible to concentrate on fields related to religious phenomena in other departments. (See below for a partial list.) In addition, faculty in a variety of disciplines have teaching and research interests related to the study of religion.
