Philosophy & Religion
Socrates said it first—the unexamined life is not worth living. In this joint major, one of the few of its kind, you will conduct such examination, asking the big questions that have been posed throughout history—and the ones that influence your everyday life. Your professors’ broad-based approach will encourage you to synthesize religious and philosophical concepts both old and new and learn to think about the world in a sensitive, scholarly, and spiritual way. Philosophy & Religion is offered as a major only.
