The University of Dayton offers numerous ways to expand the horizons of religious studies majors, not only through department programs but also by encouraging students to explore the vast array of opportunities offered through several university-wide programs. The practical experience gained through these programs nicely supplements the education of the student and leads to a well-rounded and better prepared graduate. There are:

• Academic opportunities such as the CORE Program, Study Abroad, Summer Immersion Programs, and the national theology student honor society, Theta Alpha Kappa. 
• Service and service-learning opportunities, which give religious studies students a valuable understanding of their role in both the local and global community.
• Awards, grants, and scholarships that enable many religious studies students to pursue their specific areas of interest.
