In the U.S., 59 percent of people report the “very important role” of religion in their lives, according to the Pew Global Attitudes Project. Across the planet, billions practice religions from Advaita Vedanta to Zoroastrianism.

Clearly, religion leaves a big global footprint. The population is surging – and so is the need and opportunity for studying religion. But with family, work and even church choir, who’s got time for school?

Conveniently, the study of the Divine has gone online. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 61.3% of colleges and universities in the U.S. offer certificate programs, courses and degree programs online. Religious Studies are entering the virtual education mainstream.

A faith-based career need not limit you to churches, mosques or temples. You can fill the void in religiously pluralistic, multicultural and multi-staff environments like corrections/prisons, geriatric homes, emergency response arenas, hospitals and industrial settings. Likewise, intellectual inquiry on religion gives you another alternative to becoming a priest within the cathedral: A Theology professor within the ivory tower.

A degree can be a springboard for a career in these wide-ranging fields, and they also enable you to think outside the church box:

  • Publishing
  • Museums & the arts
  • Business marketing & management
  • Institutional and military chaplaincy

    Not keen on seminary school or 8-year investment on a theology degree? Enrolling in a Religious Studies program can be an alternative or at least a precedent. Students in the program face intellectual challenges, plunging into diverse tenets and faiths, theology and apologetics and contemporary issues of the Christian church.

    An online religious studies degree will qualify you for graduate-level study in theology and divinity—and non-religious areas of education, medicine, business, and law.
