Overview

At Religious Studies and Philosophy from Avila University, a liberal arts education focusing on these disciplines provides an important exposure to cultural diversity, the Religious Studies and Philosophy program of Avila University is a basis for engaged and compassionate social action, and complex critical thinking skills vital for virtually all professional pursuits.

Our integrated major provides professional development for today’s job market as well as a broad exposure to some of the most important aspects of a humanities education. The program explicitly teaches a number of marketable skills that employers increasingly seek, including critical thinking, analytical writing, cultural understanding and sensitivity, and intellectual initiative.

The word “integrated” in the term “integrated major” indicates a mutually-enriching and critical dialogue between two disciplines (Religious Studies and Philosophy) that are central to the liberal arts at a Catholic institution. In keeping with the tradition of such institutions, faith and reason are taken as valued standpoints from which to approach academic work and community life.
