Administrative History
Moral philosophy courses had been offered as early as 1872 and religion courses since 1954. The Department of Philosophy and Religion was established in 1955, later joining the College of Arts and Sciences after it formed in 1961. The department split into the departments of Philosophy and of Religion in 1983. In 1994, the Department of Religion became the Religious Studies Program in the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS). In July 2003, Department of Philosophy and CIS moved to the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. CIS was dissolved around 2009, and the Religious Studies program became the Department of Religion and Culture.
