Religious Literacy Certificate


Religious Literacy Certificate

The Certificate in Religious Literacy emphasizes the ways that religion interacts with many different areas of social, cultural, and political life, and will be beneficial to those preparing for careers in a wide variety of fields, including--but not limited to--health, education, business, social work, law, politics, criminology, psychology, family services, and communications.  Using the American Academy of Religion's guidelines for teaching and learning religious literacy in K-12 schools and in higher education, UNI's Religious Literacy Certificate provides students with content knowledge and transferable skills based in the academic study of religion.
