Students may also wish to study Philosophy and Theology as a Major within a degree in the School of Arts & Sciences.

Yes, an Honours award is available for this program. Further information can be found in the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) regulations, or by contacting the School of Philosophy & Theology.

The Core Curriculum includes an option to undertake a pilgrimage embedded in the study of the philosophy and theology of pilgrimage (e.g., World Youth Day), an option to undertake a course that integrates philosophy & theology with community service and charity work, and an option to undertake an elective in philosophy, theology, and the liberal arts contained within an international experience.
