DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
|
Philosophy is the attempt to find a meaningful perspective from which to view oneself, one's world, and one's place in the world. Philosophy develops critical, analytical faculties, and increases skills in writing, problem solving and persuasion. While students from any major might greatly profit from the reading philosophy, its study is particularly useful to those pursuing graduate study in philosophy and theology, and those entering professional programs in Law, Medicine, and the Ministry. Students enrolled in the professional colleges may benefit from the Department's professional ethics course offering.
A minor in philosophy is available in either the B.A. or B.S. program. This minor requires 16 credit hours of philosophy, including Philosophy 100. Of these 16 hours, 6 must be in upper division courses.
Also available is a Concentration of Philosophy within the General Studies B.S. with the following recommended curriculum.
