Bachelor of Arts - Philosophy

The Religion/Philosophy Department at the University of La Verne offers students the opportunity to explore the historical and global development of ideas that have formed cultures and individual world views throughout human history.

Religion courses involve students in seeing religion and religious values from an academic perspective. Philosophy courses challenge students to look seriously at the philosophical traditions which have formed the bases of human intellectual development. The Inter-faith minor encourages students to understand and appreciate the religiously pluralist world in which we live. In all courses, the emphasis is upon critical thinking and evaluation of a broad range of views with the goal of refining one’s own perspectives.
