About Us
Introduction
The Committee on the Study of Religion is a unique standing committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the only curricular committee to sponsor both an undergraduate concentration and a graduate program for Ph.D. students.
Our home is on the third and fourth floors of the Barker Center, 12 Quincy Street, a congenial center we share with other Humanities departments and the Humanities Center, a locus for interdisciplinary discussion. We are located on the edge of Harvard Yard, across Quincy Street from Lamont Library, next to the Harvard Faculty Club. (Find in Google Maps).
To reach our office by telephone, call 617-495-5781. Our fax number is 617-496-5798 and our email address is csrel@fas.harvard.edu.
The membership of the Committee includes faculty members from various departments of Arts and Sciences and from Harvard Divinity School, appointed by the Dean of FAS and the Dean of the Faculty of Divinity.
Our undergraduate concentration is in the Comparative Study of Religion, a small concentration with a superb faculty and tutorial staff.
On the graduate level, the Committee administers both Ph.D. and Th.D programs, the Ph.D. governed and granted by FAS and the Th.D. by the Divinity School.
