Student Opportunities
We offer transformative educational programs that provide students with a rich understanding of religion and global affairs, empowering them to help address some of the world’s greatest challenges.
You don’t have to be religious to understand religions and their impact on the world, and we can understand religions beyond our own beliefs. These ideas are core to the Ansari Institute. Our students engage with the Keough School’s human-centric approach which takes seriously the disparate religious perspectives of individuals and institutions we work with. Religious literacy is a must for future policy-makers. Here at the Ansari Institute we build this literacy through coursework across theology, economics, history, anthropology, political science, sustainability, peace studies, and beyond.
From summer trips abroad to 3-credit course overviews of global religions and deep dives into specific traditions, the Ansari Institute brings students into the theologies, logics and lived experiences of religions around the world, building understanding of how religious belief impacts global affairs.
