Lectures and Public Events
Each year, the Department of Religious Studies hosts two lecture series: the Bernardin Annual Lecture and the Religious Studies Lecture.
Religion can be studied anywhere, and we encourage our students to get out of the classroom and explore. We also invite the public to join us on campus for lectures and events.
There are plenty of opportunities for our students to learn more on campus, in the local community and beyond.

The Religious Studies Department and Interfaith Partners of South Carolina have a mutual agreement of support and collaboration intended to provide unique and expanded resources to USC students and faculty, as well as to the wider community. Religious Studies and IPSC have engaged in co-sponsored events and activities with a focus on educational objectives. Each also promotes the events and activities of the other.
Studying abroad can enhance a religious studies degree, allowing the student to apply what they've learned to a larger world. The experience also gives students an expanded wealth of knowledge of the world to bring back and apply to their studies at USC.
