The Department of Religion and Philosophy offers a combined major in the two disciplines, with a concentration in either area. Minors in Religion or Philosophy are also available. If your goal is to structure a strong interdisciplinary major with one of these subjects as its core, Berry can accommodate you as well. A major in Religion and Philosophy consists of 36 credit hours, including the three-hour general education requirement. Because it is a Bachelor of Arts degree, you should be prepared to fulfill the foreign-language requirement for that designation.

Through your coursework, you?ll gain a strong liberal arts foundation that can serve as your springboard to careers in a wide array of fields, including law, government, business, medicine, nonprofit, and of course teaching and religious vocations.

If your goal is a graduate degree in Religion or Philosophy, your Berry education will open doors to both types of programs, as well as to other fields in the humanities. Even in fields that are not directly related to religion and philosophy, the degree will set you apart and certify your ability to think analytically, write clearly, and appreciate other people?s points of view.
