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 Religion Department is a community of stu dents and faculty engaged in the exploration of religion: the different ways faith is expressed and practiced, the historical and cultural contexts of religions and their texts, as well as the interconnec tions between religion and other areas of human life — philosophical thought, the psychological, social, political, and economic dimensions, and the presence of religion and religious symbols in liter ature and fine arts, etc. To encourage creative and independent thinking, we emphasize the study of primary texts, rather than simply reading what other people have written about those texts.

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 effort to meet the demands of music in the 21 st century, students at Bishop’s have the choice of pursuing studies in two different disciplines: Music and Culture, or Music Performance. Interdisciplinary programs include degrees in Arts Administration and Music Education, both with a music emphasis.
