We include three related approaches: examination of primary texts and artifacts; analysis of the ideas and activities that have contributed to the development of various religions; and interdisciplinary exploration of the theories and methods used in the study of religion. This multidisciplinary M.A. program seeks to prepare students with both the knowledge of a religious world and the tools to study that world, including language training where appropriate. Courses often utilize both cultural and disciplinary foci in examining religious life. Students who pursue the graduate program on a full-time basis complete the program in one and a half to two years. The M.A. Program in Religious Studies is oriented toward the academic analysis of religious phenomena and is not intended to endorse either religious belief itself or the views and practices of any particular religious tradition. The program utilizes resources from several areas of study in the Graduate School of Arts and Science (including the Departments of Anthropology, Classics, English, Hebrew and Judaic Studies, History, Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, and Philosophy and the Program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies). The program also has close ties with the Center for Religion and Media. We also offer an M.A. in religious studies with a concentration in journalism and religion. As religion appears with growing force in the political, economic, social, and cultural life of a globalizing world, its representation in various media (electronic and print) likewise grows in importance. The Program in Religious Studies has joined forces with the Department of Journalism to provide an area of study within the graduate program that provides education and training for students seeking careers as professional newspaper, magazine, or broadcast journalists with an expertise on religion.     Accreditation Information: New York University is a member of the Association of American Universities and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
