Mission Statement
| The department offers a combined major in
philosophy and religion. Students may choose one of the four
concentrations: either philosophy, religion, philosophy with an
interdisciplinary focus or religion with an interdisciplinary focus.
Whether concentrating in philosophy or religion, students in the
department acquire the following fundamental skills and knowledge:
the ability to think critically and rigorously with increased
capabilities for problem solving and analysis of arguments; thorough
familiarity with the literature, major figures, issues, ideals and
practices of the discipline and the ability to express themselves
clearly, soundly and persuasively in oral and written form. These
three skill areas are the foundation and substance of a major in
philosophy and religion. On the basis of this training, students
should be prepared to express their own creative thought in a
disciplined and effective manner.
