Religion and Philosophy at Ozarks

Students take courses in religion and philosophy for a number of different reasons: to clarify their own religious faith, to explore the fundamental questions of human existence, to understand more fully western religious and philosophical traditions, to explore the religions and philosophies of other cultures, and to contemplate the roles of faith and reason in human experience.

Religion and philosophy courses at Ozarks stress the skills common to all forms of liberal education: critical reading, analytical thinking, clear and effective writing and speaking. Although many religion and philosophy students pursue this major with seminary or full-time Christian service in mind, others do so with the aim of preparing their minds to face the challenges of an ever-changing world.
