2. ANT 3241- Myth, Ritual, and Mysticism: This course is an introduction to the anthropological study of religion and will focus upon phenomena that may be categorized broadly as “religion” and the closely related concept “supernatural”. It is not a theology course, but examines and analyzes the way religion is practiced and performed in diverse societies through reviewing central aspects of religion, such as mythology, symbolism, ritual, religious specialists, gods and spirits, witchcraft, and magic.

6. ANT 2000- Introduction to Anthropology: In this introduction to Cultural Anthropology, we explore a variety of concepts and theories that help us to understand culture as the similarities, differences, connections and disconnections between people, places and their environment that shape societies and world communities (including our own).
