What Will I Learn?
Philosophy, the pursuit of wisdom, delves into a wide range of fundamental issues that shape the human condition. These span from the nature of the human person, justice, the existence of God and human freedom, to the significance of political and moral values and the quest for knowledge and truth. Philosophy is a powerful tool for students to critically examine the most crucial topics of their social and political existence. It hones their skills in logical thinking, verbal and written argumentation as well as the capacity for organizing principles and ideas, thereby fostering their critical thinking skills.
Career Paths
Philosophy, with its versatile nature, offers exceptional preparation for a wide range of careers, including politics, law, governmental administration, writing, journalism and education. Its applicability across diverse professional fields is a testament to its value and relevance.
Points of Pride
Students can attend, discuss and engage in exciting issues in small class sizes, which helps them easily relate to and connect with classmates and professors. Those in the program receive the same quality instruction as four-year institutions but at a fraction of the cost. Professors in the philosophy program are teachers, researchers and published authors who present at professional conferences. This high level of academic interaction is a testament to the quality of education we offer.
