Active Learning
World Religions courses at Camosun look at a number of global religious traditions that cross national, cultural, and geographical boundaries, and how they address issues like:
- What do more than half of humans mean when they say they are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or Hindu?
- What, in each of these religious traditions is meant by ‘fundamentalism,’ and why does it have a bad reputation?
- What is the difference between ‘organized’ and ‘popular’ religion?
- Why do people get so passionate about saying they are ‘religious,’ ‘atheist,’ or ‘agnostic?’
- Will these traditions get along better or worse in the Internet Age?
- Why is Jerusalem so hotly contested?
Program or University Transfer
We recommend you attend an information session to learn how Religion courses can be taken in a program or as individual university transfer courses. If you plan to take individual courses at Camosun, when you apply online, you will select University Transfer as your program option.
