Philosophy of Law, Science and Religion are just some of the areas a student can go into Y We just started a religion concentration in the philosophy MeLachlan said, Graduates under this program can enter a wide, of fields that may not be directly connected to religion. Several gfgduates, have gone in teaching, management, medical and logy and historical research, Since religion is changing and growing.all the times Intemational. Relations have to keep track of what is new anidhold. New organizations and groups are always being created and they may needisome6ne who can interpret what they believe for others. Revelation@imay b@ rifade about ld religions and need to be interpreted so that the general public can understand them. Hartford Institute is one of several rebearch\institutes that can offer students the chance to explore religigus organizations, new movements and areas of concern. The American Academy of Religions theWorid's largest association, that researches and teaches topics related to religion, They offer positions teaching and need writers to publish their books and joumals.They also have meetings, so students have the chance to get their viewSiand jor." riety WesternCarolinian interpretations heard by others.
