Why Study Religion at Juniata?
"My whole life I have dreamt of traveling to far off places to see how people very different from myself understand the world they live in, and the faculty in the religious studies department have been especially helpful in finding real opportunities for me to begin to quench my insatiable curiosity and actualize my dreams."
