Religion and Philosophy Major
Studying religion offers the opportunity to explore not only the Quaker tradition informing the history and mission of the College since its founding but also the broader Christian tradition and other major religions of the world. Whether in courses on the Bible or the historical Jesus, on dreams or comparative religions, students are invited to engage with the mystery of the sacred, and the ethical and philosophical questions that have occupied human beings since the dawn of history.
Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Wisdom emerges from clear, logical, and creative thought, and an earnest attempt to understand reality, knowledge, ethical responsibility, and other concerns in our everyday lives. Philosophy attempts to integrate all human thought and experience into a meaningful whole.
Students desiring a broad program of study in Religion and Philosophy would be best served by the general Religion and Philosophy concentration, which allows students to complete core coursework with 16 upper-level R&P credits of their choosing.
