About us
Philosophy is an excellent field of study if you are looking for a broad education that teaches you how to think and gain self-awareness. It is particularly appropriate as a major or minor for those contemplating a career in law, government, business, public service, politics, education, or religion. The Department offers a wide variety of courses especially developed for students in business, health sciences, education, and policy studies as well as for those who are pursuing careers in science or the humanities. Philosophy provides invaluable reasoning skills, insight into methodological presuppositions, and an appreciation of the intellectual currents that have shaped history. It also promotes student’s abilities to read challenging texts and to write effectively, skills in high demand for many careers. Another component of the Department’s program is a series of courses in applied philosophy, the study of which provides skills with practical application in one’s personal, social, and professional life. Courses in this area include Contemporary Moral Problems, Marriage and Family, Philosophy of Law, and Business Ethics. In addition to the philosophy major, the Department offers a Pre-Law major and a Minor in Ethics.
