Religions and Cultures

Studying at Nipissing University has deepened my understanding of how religion continues to be one of the most powerful forms of social organization around the world. The amazing professors at Nipissing have taught me to recognize religion in incredibly diverse and, at times, unexpected aspects of life, and use this understanding in new and exciting ways. One of the most intriguing things, for me, has been to look at the way that beliefs continue to influence governments around the world, from war in the Middle East to political activism here in North America. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from such intelligent and kind professors and to work so closely alongside them in ways that will continue to propel me through the rest of my academic career!

Here at Nipissing University, I am a Business Administration student because it seemed practical and modern. While I do love my business courses, I am so happy I took the time to explore some of the other courses Nipissing has to offer. Religions and Cultures will open your eyes. To be completely honest, these courses will make a better person- you’ll become unbiased, open-minded, and gain a better understanding of human beings. Take a Religions and Cultures course. You won’t regret it.

I originally took religion as an elective, and found it so fascinating I ended up majoring in it. Taking just one religions and cultures course will enrich your understanding of the world and foster greater empathy with our world’s diverse cultures and religions. Furthermore, the skills you develop in these courses – such as critical thinking and coherent, analytical writing – are applicable to a variety of career paths. I currently study Library & Information Science at Western University and felt extremely well-prepared by my education at Nipissing.
