Graduate Programs in Religious Studies
The University of Texas at Austin does not currently offer a graduate degree in Religious Studies. A proposal to offer an M.A. and Ph.D. in Religious Studies through our department is currently pending state approval, though it is unclear at this time when we will be able to begin accepting applications. Once approved, the department will offer advanced degrees in five areas of concentration:
- Religion in Asia
- Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean
- Religion in Europe and the Middle East
- Religion in the Americas
- Transregional and Comparative Studies in Religion

Current graduate students in these and other departments across the University have the opportunity to participate in the Master's and Doctoral Portfolio Programs in the Study of Religion offered through the Department of Religious Studies.
