Undergraduate

The study of philosophy promotes rational and critical thinking and provides a sense of our intellectual traditions from the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. The philosophy major aims to develop a critical and articulated understanding of basic beliefs and value judgments. Students of philosophy become acquainted with the intellectual foundation of much of Western culture and find opportunities to compare it to the tenets of other cultures. They also learn to analyze problems through a variety of methods. Philosophy majors become qualified for careers in which a liberal arts degree is desirable. It is the recommended undergraduate major for students intending to pursue advanced studies in philosophy, religion, or theology, or in many areas of professional study, such as law. Internships in a variety of human service agencies or congressional offices add to the practical dimension of the study. Upon successful completion of the philosophy program, students will be able to demonstrate an awareness of the broad and deep understanding of issues concerning fundamental problems of human existence; synthesize and assess ethical and moral arguments; articulate the role of reason in the understanding and in the creation of personal world views; conduct appropriate research to develop considered responses to questions about philosophical problems using their knowledge of philosophical claims and theories; and demonstrate epistemic virtues such as intellectual curiosity, courage to engage in independent inquiry, humility to hold beliefs provisionally, and a commitment to perfect one?s personal world view.
