The Department of Philosophy and Religion provides academic programs that expose students to diverse philosophical traditions and concepts while developing analytical skills and logical reasoning abilities. These programs benefit students pursuing law, medicine, or graduate studies, as well as those seeking a robust liberal arts education. The philosophy curriculum presents a well-rounded selection of courses designed to cultivate critical analysis and argumentation techniques. Students gain comprehensive knowledge of philosophical history and systems, exploring numerous subjects including ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of science, cognitive studies, religious philosophy, and Eastern thought. For their culminating experience, students may opt to undertake a senior thesis, conducting in-depth research on specific philosophical questions. This major can be pursued independently or combined with another field of study.
