项目概述
The pre-theology track within the 哲学 major does not differ greatly in terms of distribution requirements (though there are some differences), but differs principally in the direction, 指导, and preparation it offers to students who are interested in the philosophical foundations of religion and religious belief.
Students whose interests center on religion (whether the ministry or religion studies) often find 哲学 an attractive field of study because of its analytical and deeply reflective character as an academic discipline. While seminaries tend not to favor one major over another, a mix of 哲学 and 经典 & 世界宗教, which is what the pre-theology track prescribes, will serve to create a secure foundation for further study in this and related areas.
