The study of theology in general enhances one's awareness of and sensitivity to religious values. Students consider both historical and contemporary issues related to theological thought, which can have a major impact on present social, religious, and political situations. The theology major develops an appreciation for the similarities and differences of religious beliefs and practices across cultures and acquires skills relevant to a variety of careers.

The extensive study of Vaishnava traditions gives the student valuable tools for presenting Krishna consciousness in academic and educated segments of society. Students are better equipped to relate to persons who have had prior contact with Vedic literature and culture, and they can also inspire newcomers to recognize the validity of important teachings. The comprehensive exploration of Vaishnava history and schools of thought enables a graduate to field questions and reconcile various viewpoints in regard to Vaishnava conclusions.
