Program offered is a Bachelor.
Philosophy aims at a comprehensive and coherent view of the world by critically examining our most basic beliefs about the nature of reality, knowledge, persons, and values. It involves scrutiny of the concepts that define who we are and give direction to our lives, as well as exploration of the assumptions and methodologies fundamental to other disciplines. The student of Philosophy develops skills in clarifying concepts, analyzing arguments, and assessing positions. The understanding and skills gained through the study of Philosophy are valuable to all individuals and are highly prized by every profession, including law, medicine, government, and business. For those primarily interested in political philosophy, an interdisciplinary Philosophy/Political Thought major is available.
