Certificates of Undergraduate Studies (CUGS)

A certificate of Undergraduate Study (CUGS) is designed to complement and enhance a student's major program, as well as to prepare students for graduate studies and professional careers. No prior background in World Religions is required for these Certificates, and any student pursuing an undergraduate degree at Rowan University is eligible to apply.

We offer two 12 s.h. Certificates in the field of World Religions:

• World Religions

It will help students to gain knowledge and critical training in the area of world religion studies--and to better understand the impact of religion on society and culture. It will benefit students who are pursuing careers that increasingly require an understanding of world religions: in the arts and media, education, government, health care, communication, public relations, and international affairs.
• Asian Philosophy and Religion
  • Students will gain knowledge and critical training in Asian Philosophy and Religion, acquiring an in-depth understanding and appreciation of these core aspects of Asian culture.
