Philosophy and Religious Studies The mission of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies is to explore the great questions of human existence in a critical manner. The faculty seeks to cultivate a learning environment in which students broaden their perspectives, refine their thinking, and learn to reason and communicate in a critical, clear, and consistent manner about the most important issues of life. Students work together with the faculty in exploring timeless questions related to the human search for meaning, truth, values, and spirituality.
