Studying philosophy and religion will prepare you for a wide variety of careers by expanding your engagement with the world’s major philosophical and religious intellectual traditions. Philosophy explores what is real, what we know, how we should think, and how we should act, while religion reflects on the many ways through which communities have constructed and articulated the meaningfulness of human life. You will not only learn what you can do but also what you should do.
