Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy

The Philosophy major teaches valuable skills including reading, writing, analyzing, and thinking. It contributes to personal growth and a deeper understanding of ourselves, the world we live in, and other people. You will explore such topics as the relations between mind and body, free will, the difference between knowing and believing, justice, human rights, and Eastern and Western religions. You will gain the intellectual skills needed to apply philosophical theories to real world problems—at home, at work, in your community, and in society. Such a liberal arts education doesn't just train you for a job, it gives you the tools to make a living and to make an intellectually rewarding life.

The Philosophy major will prepare you for a wide variety of careers through valuable knowledge and skills for a rapidly changing job market. The study of philosophy will improve your capacity to think critically and creatively, to appreciate complexity, to feel comfortable with diversity and disagreement, to work cooperatively and collaboratively with others, to communicate effectively both in writing and orally, to read with understanding complicated and complex material, and to solve problems. Studying philosophy promotes intellectual and psychological growth, yet it also develops capabilities prized by most employers and needed by our increasingly global society. In the Philosophy major, you will explore Western and non-Western thought in such courses as Asian Thought, Ethics Across the Continents, Gandhi and King, Philosophy and the Environment, Philosophy and Climate Change, Philosophy of Religion, Contemporary Moral Issues, Business Ethics, Ancient Philosophy, and Social and Political Philosophy.
