Religion
The study of religion has always been a rich and rewarding field of inquiry, and the McMurry University Department of Religion and Philosophy will provide you the opportunity to explore religious diversity in a global context, all the while grounded in the historic Christian tradition. Majoring or minoring in religion will challenge you to grow intellectually and spiritually and prepare you to meet the challenges and opportunities of today’s increasingly globalized culture. Your studies can prepare you for many careers, including Christian ministry, social work, nonprofit and community development organizations or graduate studies in theology, law or politics.

Pre-Ministry
The McMurry University pre-ministry program prepares and supports students interested in vocational or avocational ministries. Pre-ministry students are encouraged to major or minor in religion or Christian ministry, but the program is open to all students. For students pursuing a career as a minister, is important to consult their respective denominations to ensure they are completing ordination requirements and complying with standards of ministerial preparation. Many pre-ministerial students complete internships in local churches or otherwise serve in part-time positions in ministry. Students are encouraged to participate in the Religious Life Office as well as Kappa Delta Sigma, a student organization for pre-ministerial students.
