I. Courses In Other Departments that Will Count Towards the Religious Studies Major
-
Department policy allows for a total of twelve credit hours of coursework taken outside the Department, in other UVA departments and outside the University, to be counted towards the Major. Of these, a maximum of six credit hours may be taken in other UVA departments. The total number of credit hours from outside the Department remains at twelve hours.
-
Courses that have been taken from this list and taught by the designated instructors (see below) will appear on the VISTAA form under the Religious Studies Major, but the original mnemonic will remain the same on the VISTAA form and the transcript.
- Additions can be made to the core list of courses by application to the Director of Undergraduate Studies for approval by the Undergraduate Committee with the submission of the course syllabus and a supporting statement by a Religious Studies faculty member. However, no additions to the list of approved courses can be made AFTER a student has enrolled in such a course.
- A maximum of three credit hours of coursework may be taken outside the Department either from another UVA department or from outside the University, and counted towards the Religious Studies Minor.
- The department does not allow retroactive requests for credit for courses taken outside the department. Students must submit a relevant syllabus and make the request for credit before the course ends.
