Religion - Goucher College

Religion from Goucher College is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. One of the major goals of a liberal arts education is to prepare students to become productive, responsible, moral world citizens who critically reflect on who they are as complex individuals in an equally complex society and cosmos. Such reflection inevitably begins with students as enthusiastic, yet perplexed inquirers confronting fundamental questions about human meaning and truth. In this regard, philosophy and religion are essential parts of a liberal arts education. Both disciplines help students to analyze and comment critically on concerns that are fundamental to human existence. Philosophy and religion interrogate the ?truth? of human existence. Both seek to move students beyond uncritical patterns of thought and experience to ones that recognize problems of human knowing/existence and which bring students to a more considered approach to living. Both disciplines attempt to help students think clearly, critically and cross-culturally about who they are in relationship to themselves, their social and world communities, and the wider cosmos. Philosophy does this by bringing basic human experiences and issues into question. Religion does this by exploring a particular view of reality and human existence which establishes the meaning of the human being (socially and individually) in relation to ?ultimate? reality.
