Additionally, the College offers a variety of interfaith courses, including Religion in America, a study of the origin and development of religious expression in America with special emphasis on issues of religious diversity; Encountering World Religions, which examines the beliefs and practices of major religious traditions and movements; and Comparative Scriptures, which familiarizes students with a variety of religious texts from several religious traditions.

Upon completion of the certification program, Dang received a formal certificate as well as a special interfaith award at the annual Student Affairs Banquet. Additionally, the honor is noted in the Commencement program at graduation.
