UIndy's program is for students like you who want to wrestle with questions of faith and the church from the past, the present, and into the future. Coursework takes you way beyond a Sunday school class as you delve into church history, theology, philosophy, the nature of sin, and more. After exploring the Bible as a historical document, you will gain a greater understanding of the cultural contexts of Christianity. And that's a good way to have a solid foundation for your future.<br>With a degree in religion from UIndy, you'll gain insight both into the greater faith traditions of the church and also into your own calling in life. Graduates from UIndy's Philosophy & Religion Department have had successful careers in fields from the expected (like ministry or education) to others that may surprise you (like law, social work, public administration and business). The skills you can gain with a major in philosophy or religion translate well to many jobs and experiences and can prepare you to seek out your own vocation in a variety of settings.<br>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. At just 12 credit hours, the ethics concentration will blend with your major for a customized experience. With classes like Ethics, Aristotle, Business Ethics and Medical Ethics, you'll dissect ethical situations facing your industry and cap your concentration experience with an integrative paper that blends your own area of study with principles learned studying philosophy.<br><br>ADVANTAGES<br>Our faculty have been published in a variety of publications, including their own books<br>Faculty members represent diverse backgrounds in academia, ministry, and archaeology<br>Small class sizes allow professors to engage students and help deliver customized learning experiences<br>Students majoring in religion intern with local churches and nonprofit organizations to explore their calling in the world<br>Our academic approach to religion makes room for difficult questions that are new to you
