Overview

Key Features

Building on the historical (e.g., ancient, medieval, modern) and cross-cultural (e.g., Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, secular) foundations of these topics, you’ll learn how to critically interrogate their practical consequences for our communities. Whether through exposing logical fallacies in political discourse, investigating the environmental ethics of global climate change or articulating responses to world religious conflict, the Philosophy program from Christopher Newport University emphasize how philosophy and religious studies matter today.

The majors consistently score in the top percentiles of standardized tests (e.g., GRE, MCAT, LSAT) for law school, medical school and graduate school. Accordingly, our curriculum develops critical-thinking skills that help our graduates gain access to future opportunities in law school, business school, seminary, graduate school and more. The emphasis on marketable skills like analytic problem solving and ethical leadership prepare students for an array of vocations in teaching, technology, counseling, government, nonprofit, business and more.
