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. It fosters skills and perspectives for success in a range of employment situations, as well as preparing for graduate and professional study towards counseling, the ministry, teaching, and community leadership.
