The study of the religious experience of humanity is an academic discipline which John Carroll University considers to be an integral part of a liberal education.

As a Jesuit and Catholic university, John Carroll also provides the opportunity for its students to choose elective courses designed to give them an understanding of their faith commensurate with their other learning.

The University Core requirement in religious studies is satisfied by RL 101 and a second appropriately designated 3 credit RL course at the 200 or 300 level.
