The Philosophy & Religion Department offers courses designed to help students study and reflect upon the major religious traditions and philosophical questions that have contributed to the making of our present world. In addition and more particularly, the philosophy & religion major is excellent preparation for the student interested in the church, whether in the professional ministry or as a lay person.

The Philosophy/Religion major involves a broad survey of Western and Eastern cultural heritages and develops analytical skills characteristic of a truly educated person.

International travel is also offered each January so students can experience firsthand the world religions in their native settings.

Do you see yourself attending seminary or teaching in a church setting? Do you think about helping other people as a counselor or in social justice work? Maybe you like to examine the world’s needs and problems in a systematic way.
