In philosophy, we look at the big questions: how we acquire knowledge, the nature of right and wrong, the meaning of beauty, the nature of the mind...just to name a few! We also investigate how philosophy is applied to real world problems and issues, whether it be politics, the environment, or artificial intelligence. In our courses, you'll learn to read carefully, think critically, and write clearly by examining responses to the big questions by thinkers from a variety of time periods and cultures. We offer you the opportunity to rigorously analyze different viewpoints on important topics, and develop good reasons for your opinions.
Our own majors have gone on to work in law, medicine, journalism, education (teaching and administration), politics, business finance, business management, editorial work, nursing, the general sciences, community engagement, and counseling. The possibilities are indefinite.
