Welcome to the Department of Philosophy


 

Studying Philosophy, Religious Studies, or Anthropology will help you to think more clearly, to communicate more effectively, to ask more probing questions, and to flourish in environments characterized by diversity. As a result of the broad education received in our department, our graduates are well equipped to adapt to the vicissitudes of a changing economy, and are able to meaningfully and enjoyably engage many different types of employment. Individuals with training in our disciplines are found in nonprofit organizations, government offices, environmental agencies, publishing companies, public relations firms, educational institutions, journalistic fields, management arenas, criminal justice positions, law offices, insurance agencies, and businesses. We encourage you to explore what our disciplines have to offer. Take a course with us or visit our office and speak with one of our faculty members. We look forward to meeting you!


 "Religion is a force that both quietly and outwardly moves and shapes cultures and societies. As it is ever an undercurrent, the study of religion can inform and deepen understanding of nearly all other disciplines."
