PHILOSOPY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES AT EUREKA

The department of Philosophy and Religion offers both a major and a minor. Students may choose to obtain a concentration, within the major, in either Philosophy or Religion. A concentration in philosophy provides students with a broad understanding of the history and dynamics of Western thought, a detailed knowledge of moral and theoretical issues in this tradition, and training in critical and analytical thinking skills. A concentration in Religion provides students with an introduction to the world's major religions, a knowledge of the common elements and themes in religion, and a familiarity with the various approaches and methods used to study religion.

The Philosophy and Religion major offers an education in the broad liberal arts tradition. In different ways, each concentration introduces students to the most profound and universal questions humans have asked and to their most thoughtful and enduring answers.
