Department Teaches The Most Students In General Education UNI’s Department of Philosophy and Religion continues to teach more students in General Education than any other department, with the largest numbers in Humanities I and II and Religions of the World. The introduction of a new four- course scries on the development of Christianity has found some student interest. A panel discussion on “Creation or Evolution? began the year’s public activities for the department. These continued throughout the year with lectures and discussions of the Bible, science, and the role of women. Denise and John Carmody appeared as Thcologians-in-Residcnce in April. In aiming for a Bachelor of Arts degree, students may select from one of three undergraduate majors. These consist of the philosophy major, the religion major, and the combined phi- losophy and religion major. Pre-theological and pre-business majors are being developed.
