About the Department

The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies offers two majors: one in philosophy and one in religious studies. While the two majors complement and enhance each other, they retain separate identities and missions. In both programs, Spelman students learn how to read critically, write cogently, identify and interrogate historical and contemporary discourses, apply discipline-specific research methods, conduct and present their research in their courses, and employ inquiry-based learning to take ultimate responsibility for their academic potential.
