Understanding Religion

USU’s Religious Studies Program has named the United State’s first full-time professor of Mormon studies at a secular university. USU’s religious studies program, the first of its kind in the Intermountain West, also has an internationally known expert on Buddhism and hopes to add experts on Islam and Judaism in the next year.
