Philosophy and Religion is a major offered in Graceland University's Division of Humanities. Majors develop an understanding of and appreciation for a disciplined inquiry into religious and philosophical issues and the place of this inquiry in society. Students study a wide variety of classical and contemporary works in philosophy and religion. By orienting course work toward both the liberal arts tradition and contemporary issues, the division prepares students to understand the cultural context of a complex world, to be innovative, to think critically about practical and theoretical questions, and to articulate their thinking creatively and accurately.
