Why Philosophy and Religion?

The Philosophy minor is a program appropriate for students who wish to study philosophical thought, with a focus on moral and political theories and their relevance to practical issues. This program provides an excellent foundation for understanding the historical background and social significance of current philosophical, moral, and theoretical-political issues

Why Liberal Arts?

Liberal Arts is not reserved for art students only. At AUBG, for example, we have a variety of majors and minors spanning from Business Administration to Computer Science, and we make sure that you get a solid understanding and in-depth knowledge in the field you choose to study. What differentiates Liberal Arts from other types of degrees, however, is that in addition to that, it gives you the freedom to explore, create, practice your skills and connect to others.
