General information
The University of Sudbury participates in the Joint Department of Religious Studies at Laurentian University. This is a partnership of three universities, the University of Sudbury (S), Huntington University (H), and Thorneloe University (T), each with its own Department of Religious Studies and all on the campus of Laurentian University. Any course offered by any of the partners in the Joint Department of Religious Studies may be applied to a programme. The only exceptions are courses in Biblical Greek and Hebrew which may count as electives but are not to be included as concentration or specialization credits.

Students in the 4-year specialized programme must choose their courses according to University regulations and in consultation with the department. The programme must include at least 60 credits in Religious Studies. In 2nd and 3rd year, students must take the equivalent of at least 36 credits, including at least 6 credits from each of the three areas. To take a 4th-year course, students must have completed the designated prerequisite courses. Students may take courses in either French or English to complete their degree requirements, and may take only one 1st-year (6 cr) course in Religious Studies. Before planning a 3- or 4-year programme in Religious Studies, students should refer to the general regulations pertaining to academic programmes in “What’s offered at Laurentian?”.
