Anthropology, Art History, Classics, Philosophy, & Religion

This is the landing page for our newly forming department which combines 5 degree programs:  Art History, Anthropology, Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies, our faculty, and student activities. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We serve as the heart of a Liberal Arts Education at the University of Mary Washington. In our individual and collective efforts, we promote investigation into the historical and social understanding of our past, our current social relations and ethical responsibilities, and conceptions of self. In achieving these goals, our faculty promote a diversity of ideas, enables and encourages critical thinking and productive dialogue, and promotes informed community engagement in the interest of social justice.

We support several minors and certificate programs, including Arabic Studies, Asian Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Contemplative Studies, Practical Ethics, and Philosophy and Law.

Finally, we are home to the Leidecker Center for Asian Studies and the Khatib Program in Religion and Dialogue.
