Theta Alpha Kappa
Theta Alpha Kappa is a national honor society for professors and students of Religious Studies and Theology. Its prime purpose is to recognize excellence and further growth in Religious Studies and Theology at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Theta Alpha Kappa seeks to encourage research, good teaching and publication; to encourage an exchange of learning and thought among scholars and to bring together students and teachers of Religious Studies and Theology in an intellectual and social fellowship. The name of the society derives from the first letters of the three Greek words Theos (God), Anthropos (humankind), and Koinonia (community), the three areas of primary concern to students of Religion and Theology. The guidelines for student membership are completion of a total of 12 undergraduate and/or graduate credits in Religious Studies or Theology with a grade average of 3.50 or "B+" and a cumulative index of 3.00 or "B". For membership application, see the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.
