In Philosophy, lasting and adequate understanding comes when the materials of study are brought to life. This requires both patience and creativity on the part of professors, engagement and self-reli ance on the part of students. The Bishop’s experi ence in Philosophy is designed to foster all of these things. Many classes operate in the seminar format attentive to the particular interests of members, focused on primary sources and designed to invite students to take a leadership role in presenting their own work. Our students graduate having stud ied closely great works of thought, having learned how to communicate subtle and difficult ideas to others, having gained extensive experience in tech nical writing, argumentation and public speaking.

The Music Department is constantly redesigning and expanding its programs, allowing students to help realize their full potential as musicians or per haps discover music’s power for the first time in an ever-changing, ever-shrinking artistic world. In an ef fort to meet the demands of music in the 21 st cen tury, students at Bishop’s have the choice of pursu ing studies in two different disciplines: traditional Classical Music or in the burgeoning area of Popular Music Studies (Jazz, Rock & Pop). Interdisciplinary programs include degrees in Arts Administration and Music Education, both with a music emphasis.

The Department of Modern Languages is the choice of studentswho enjoy learning about other languag es and cultures and who realize the importance of communication in all aspects of contemporary life. Students soon discover the value of another lan guage, not only in providing greater employment and career opportunities, but also in providing different insights, a fuller and richer perspective on different cultures, academic disciplines, and, in fact, on all aspects of life.
