B.A. with a Major in Philosophy

Requirements (120 hours)

Philosophy fosters an appreciation for the role of critical thinking in all aspects of life. It is a humanities-based discipline that makes students aware of perennial issues confronting human beings, particularly respecting their place within society, their claim to knowledge and their commitment to values. As such, the philosophy major provides students with the tools they need to succeed in a variety of graduate programs, including philosophy, religion, political science, law and business. The philosophy minor supplements other majors by affording students the opportunity to build their own program.
