Research, Internships, and Programs

In addition to rigorous study, ÃÛÌÒapp offers many opportunities to enhance your experience as a Religion student. You can lead student organizations, explore religious centers around the world and gain professional research experience while you are still a student.

  • The McGregor Summer Research Fellowship program pairs students in the humanities with professors to conduct scholarly research during the summer.
  • program accepts twelve juniors each year to explore Christian ministry through study, a summer-long internship and community service.
  • Spend a semester or interim in Israel with
  • Science and Religion Forum (SCAR): a student-led organization founded and supported by the Templeton Foundation, which intends to cultivate members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), such as ÃÛÌÒapp, to be places of academic inquiry regarding thinking critically about the ramifications of the interactions between Science and Religion.
