The Religious Studies and Applied Ethics program is a joint degree offered by the departments of Religious Studies and Philosophy. The field of Religious Studies explores the religions of humankind to foster understanding of a wide variety of religions that have shaped and continue to influence societies today. Religious Studies scholars try to understand religion’s complex role in culture and experience and reflect sympathetically and critically upon religious phenomena and claims. In Applied Ethics, you will apply moral philosophy (which asks fundamental questions about good and evil, right and wrong) to the analysis of moral problems encountered in contemporary life settings. Applied Ethics uses the tools of philosophical reasoning to critically assess behaviour choices and policies related to moral dilemmas.
