Being a student in the Religion & Philosophy program has been quite a uniquely rewarding experience. When I first came to Wilmington College, I was strictly a Biology major. Having grown up constantly questioning the seemingly mystifying universe around me, I wanted to explore the world in which we live with the power of the scientific method. For these reasons, I am still proudly a Biology major. However, I quickly found in taking Religion and Philosophy courses, that there was more to learn about our universe, humanity’s diverse cultures, peace and social justice than I had imagined.
I was drawn to interesting classes the program has to offer such as the course about the profound significance of dreams in our lives and in human culture, the comparative religion course, and the courses on mysteries of the Bible and beyond. Soon after becoming enthralled with exploring topics like this, I became involved with the program outside of class, helping to set up weekly Twilight Zone screenings and discussions, for example.
It has been an invaluable experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything and I would strongly recommend giving the department a look when coming to Wilmington College!
