For many students, college is a time of great change and exploration when they are exposed to new ideas and meet people from different cultures and faiths. They may also begin questioning what their life is all about and what they hope to do with the time they've been given on Earth.
In between required courses and career development, many colleges and universities offer classes that help students make sense of the world and explore the deeper meaning of life.
Below is a sampling of 25 classes from a range of schools that offer a deep investigation of big life questions. If you took a class in college that expanded your horizons and made you consider questions of life, purpose and death, tell us about it in the comments section or email us at religion@huffingtonpost.com.
