The William and Henry Birks Building is the home of McGill's Faculty of Religious Studies.

The Faculty of Religious Studies is one of the constituent faculties of McGill University.

History

The faculty's history is rooted in the numerous theological colleges in Montreal that became affiliated with the university during the nineteenth century. The creation of a joint board for the study of theology in 1912 allowed the colleges some autonomy in the provision of professional training for Christian ministry. This led to the creation of the Faculty of Divinity in 1948, which assumed the role of the joint board.

Program

The faculty offers a Bachelor of Arts in religious studies, Bachelor of Theology, Master of Sacred Theology, and master's and doctorate degree programs in religious studies and theology.

Facilities

The faculty is located in the William and Henry Birks Building, at 3520 University, on the McGill campus. The building also accommodates the Birks Heritage Chapel.
