Overview

At the introductory level students take courses in disciplinary foundations and methods, as well as general surveys in the disciplines. The Philosophy and Religion major at SUNY Old Westbury then requires the study of philosophy and religion within specific cultural contexts with opportunities for students to engage with Western, Islamic, African and Asian systems of thought and value.

Key Features

Given the common ethical and normative concerns of the two disciplines, students take an ethics course that has both an applied and a multicultural perspective.

Upper division electives allow students to do in-depth and specialized work on issues and topics of their choosing, with a disciplinary focus.

Students with a particular interest in some area of applied ethics, such as the environment, issues of race and gender, health, and social policy, may choose elective courses from outside the major in consultation with an advisor. Pre-law students should also consult with an advisor in choosing their electives.
