PHILOSOPHY
The Philosophy Program engages students in philosophical thinking,
provides an opportunity for reflecting on the insights of great
thinkers, and encourages using philosophical reasoning for understanding
life and for exploring its mysteries.
Philosophy develops thinking skills and moral reasoning which serve
as preparation for effective living and professional success in
a wide array of fields including business, communication, education,
health care and law.
REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the requirements of the School of Arts and Sciences,
the Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy requires 30 to 36 credits
in philosophical thinking. Selecting from a wide range
of courses, the student can design an individualized program of
study in consultation with a faculty advisor. The program
includes some independent study and/or a seminar and a senior thesis
is required.
Philosophy majors are strongly urged to follow a sequence of courses
in other departments or fields to provide material for philosophical
reflection.
