Bachelor of Art - Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies provides students with the opportunity to explore the pathways along which philosophers and religious traditions have sought answers to the great existential questions of life. These “big questions” about the ultimate nature and purpose of reality, the sources and quality of knowledge, the basis of ethics and morals, human claims about relating to God, the relationship between reason and faith, and the natural and ultimate destiny of human beings—all are part of our fundamental nature.

Although philosophy and religious studies are distinct disciplines, both seek to develop analytic and critical thinking, to enhance the student’s ability to express ideas in speaking and writing, and to foster a climate of engagement in ethical and moral thought. These inquiries are essential elements of the Catholic intellectual tradition that is embraced by the University of Mount Saint Vincent as an integral part of its mission. A deliberate attempt is made to help students reflect upon, explain, support, and communicate their own answers to these questions as they apply them to their own personal and professional lives. A grounding in these principles can enhance a broad range of careers and professions, from law to medicine, from the arts to economics, and from public service to the clergy.
