Welcome to the Department of Philosophy and Religion
What is truth? How do I know my life is meaningful? What is the good life? Our department's students and faculty may have a wide range of interests and backgrounds, but we share a persistent curiosity about these and other "big questions" that lie at the heart of the human experience. Our courses invite students to build fundamental skills of critical thinking, writing, and reasoned reflection, abilities that equip our graduates not just for a job, but for a life.
Perhaps you're wondering, "what could I possibly do with a Philosophy and Religion major?" The diversity and success of our graduates' career paths suggest that the real question could well be, "What can I NOT do with a Philosophy and Religion major?"
But don't just take our word for it. Follow some of the links below, as well as the tabs at the top of the page, to learn more about who we are, what we're up to, and how you can find out more about us.
For more information about our department or major, please contact our chair, Dr. Norris Frederick (704.337.2577). We look forward to hearing from you.
