Philosophy

Learn thinking skills that are always current and valued by employers

The study of Philosophy equips you to analyze, think creatively and critically examine your beliefs and those of others.

It expands your conceptual horizons. You consider profound questions and in the process develop intellectual tools to expand your understanding. Through your study, you also will gain communication skills and problem solving abilities that help you succeed in a wide range of occupations or in graduate school.

What You’ll Love About the Philosophy Program:

• You will get to know faculty well because your classes are small.
• Professors are engaging and charismatic.
• Rare in an undergraduate major, the curriculum explores every major figure in philosophy and every major school of thought and historic period.

• You’ll enjoy having the opportunity to participate in intense discussions and ponder compelling questions.
• You’ll have the opportunity to take team-taught classes that combine disciplines such as Chemistry, Religion and English with Philosophy.
• Some classes are offered online, giving you greater flexibility.
• The Philosophy major requires only 24 hours so you have the opportunity to add a double major or a minor and enhance your learning and career prospects.
