Also, academic advisors should listen carefully when personal problems are revealed and, when necessary, make referrals to the relevant office. The Department of Philosophy and Religion supports the mission of The College of New Jersey and the central role that the School of Arts and Sciences plays in that mission. By developing in our students a disciplined set of abilities in critical and constructive thinking, in moral analysis and judgment, in reading and interpreting original and difficult texts, and in written and oral presentation of complex carefully developed argument, these programs prepare students for successful careers in a wide range of areas, and for admission into superior graduate and professional schools, notably for programs in philosophy, law, cognitive science and religious studies. Provided by the Department Faculty advisors in the Department of Philosophy and Religion serve as academic resources and advise students about career opportunities, internship possibilities, and graduate and professional school applications. They help students gain maximum benefit from their years at The College and to prepare for life after graduation.
Students choose their own advisors.
Hours are posted on the faculty's office door and announced to their classes. How to use The Guide Several tasks have been delineated for each of your four years at The College.
