Philosophy enables students to grasp the principles of
human self-understanding, methods by which to interpret the
thoughts of others, systems that integrate knowledge and ways
of enhancing their own powers of self-expression. The skills of the|
philosophy set the foundation for many different jobs requiring
analysis and judgment, as well as for graduate and professional study
toward college teaching, law, medicine, business, and other professions.
The Study of Religion examines how religion shapes the most fundamental
convictions and attitudes of a culture, in this country as well as around the world.

as well as preparing for graduate and professional study towards counseling,
the ministry, teaching, and community leadership.
