Learning Beyond the Classroom
Religious studies students can choose from several curricular and extra-curricular activities to enhance their learning experience, as well as participate in service opportunities.
Theta Alpha
Kappa
The University of Dayton is a local chapter of Theta Alpha Kappa, the National Honor Society for Religious Studies and Theology. Undergraduate Religious Studies students who show above-average achievements are inducted into TAK in the spring semester each academic year.
Internships and Experiential
Learning
As a religious studies student, you'll have the opportunity to participate in pilgrimages and international travel experiences, as well as opportunities to create your own internship focused on community involvement and off-site service and experience. There are some prerequisites and requirements to participate in these opportunities. Additionally, scholarships are available.
Please contact the Department of Religious Studies for more information.
Service and Community-Engaged
