Religious Studies M.A. or M.A/PhD. Programs in SoCal?

[In2SocNRlgn]

I'm currently searching for a strong M.A. or M.A./PhD. combo program in the Religious Studies field. My interest is in Christianity and the ways it has shaped American society/politics/culture. I have a B.A. in Sociology and was thinking about pursuing an M.A. in Sociology of Religion, but I am open to other programs that would allow me to focus on my area of interest, as mentioned above. Unfortunately, for familial reasons, I am restricted to programs in the Southern California area. Anyone have any suggestions?

UC Riverside offers a MA and PhD in Religious Studies. That's where I went to undergrad. It's a small, but pretty awesome department with some great faculty.

Also check out UCSB and Claremont.
