The Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy gives students the opportunity to consider some of life's biggest questions, such as
What is the nature of reality?
What (if anything) can I know with certainty?
What kind of life should I live?
Philosophy students read, discuss and analyze texts from a plurality of traditional philosophical areas of study in both Western and non-Western philosophies, written by diverse philosophers. They become familiar with contemporary and historical schools of thought and learn about the application of philosophy to other disciplines and professions. The Philosophy major provides intensive training in argumentative writing, careful reading as well as critical and creative thinking, while broadening students' intellectual, cultural and personal horizons.
The flexibility of the major's curriculum allows students to combine it with other majors or minors depending on their career interests. In this way, students can tailor their educational experience to provide excellent preparation for a wide range of careers, including law, business, medicine, technology, public relations, government, journalism, education, writing, editing, communications and social work.
