None of those classes satisfy the requirement. The class has to be given by a Religion department, so the prefix for the class has to start with something like RELIGION or THEOLOGY. Are you in Louisiana, if so you can take the class at Xavier, Loyola, and LSU in Baton Rouge. Those are the only colleges that I know of that have religion departments. Most catholic universities have a religion department too. I took Intro to Biblical Studies at Xavier to satisfy the prerequisite.

To see the course description look in the University Catalog. Here is a link http://www.xula.edu/catalog/cat.php. Go to page 309.

Religion and Theology are the same thing! Just contact [email protected] and she will clarify which of those religious classes meets the requirements. I think the intro to religion class would be an easy A.

wow

 

[tootoo30]

TooToo30,

thank you so much for your posts. just emailed ms. Hudson and see what she has to say. look at the xula course description, I am not sure the "introduction to religion" will meet that requirement. I wish it does simply because it's a lower level course more chance for an A.

I think 1 or these 2 courses will do. what do you think?

It will, I took an introductory class also and it satisfied the prerequisite. The first one actually is everything that we covered in the class I took.

==================================

LOL good luck cttuan!!! that's all I have to say. If you can get a reply back from these people, please let me know what's the heading you used in the email. For the past few years, I have received ONE reply from an email I sent out. SAD, I know.

But I don't think they're that strick about Religion class. I think they said something about any Religion courses in the department equal to or greater than 1000 level course. The courses you listed should qualify. I would worry more about Medical Ethics, they pretty strick on that course for some reasons.
