Study of secularism sees boost on college campuses
(RNS) Almost every major college and university offers a degree in
religious studies. But secularism? Nary a one -- until now.
Starting this fall, Pitzer College, a small liberal arts school in
Southern California, will offer a bachelor's degree in secular studies.
The degree is the first of its kind in the United States, according to
the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society and Culture at
Trinity College.
