To elicit from students a habit of critical reflection on issues of values assessment, methodologies, and transcendental human concerns through core courses (Introduction to Philosophy, Ethics, World Views and Values) and electives in philosophy and religious studies.
As an academic response to the social disintegration characterizing much of present public life, the Department of Philosophy and Religious studies has established an interdisciplinary Minor in Public Praxis. With a view to fully engaged learning and with a commitment to social transformation, the Minor requires students to integrate at-site experience, scholarship, critical reflection, and rigorous analysis (social, ethical, political, economic, religious).
