UIndy’s philosophy program lets you explore the big topics with others as curious as you are. You’ll get to think through questions about meaning and morality, explore the history of philosophy, and examine the role of ethics in modern society. And as an upper-level student, you can even go beyond the questions and begin developing solutions to real-world problems. In other words, you can go from “why” to “how” and really make a difference.
ADVANTAGES
CONCENTRATIONS
The Department of Philosophy & Religion offers three areas of concentration that can be added to any major.
ETHICS
Whatever your major, there's a good chance you will end up working alongside other people in the future. The need for ethical leadership in the workplace and beyond is great, and a concentration in ethics can help you enter the workforce with the assurance that you are prepared to think through ethical and moral issues and make informed decisions.
ANCIENT GREEK
The New Testament is written in a form of Ancient Greek called koine. Beginning with the Greek alphabet, basic grammar, and vocabulary, you'll build the skills necessary to begin reading the letters of Paul and the Gospels in their original Greek. Through your reading of the texts, you'll supplement your understanding of the cultures in which Christianity formed and gain insight into the poetic language of the time. Additionally, you'll see how Ancient Greek has influenced the development of the English language and improve your own communication skills.
PRE-THEOLOGY
Led by UIndy's chaplain in the Ecumenical and Interfaith Office, the pre-theology concentration consists of a series of Christian vocation classes that offer students a chance to dig deep into the Christian tradition and explore their calling in the context of their faith. With the completion of four Christian vocation courses, you'll complement your studies in prayer, worship, service, and stewardship with a real-world internship opportunity.
