Students who study religion have an understanding of multiculturalism and interculturalism, which is highly valued in our increasingly interconnected society. Because of its emphasis on written communication and critical analysis, a degree in religion is advantageous for secular as well as religious work environments. It is also good preparation for further study in law, journalism, education, and government.
