Philosophy

Philosophy students learn to think critically. Philosophy students become precise readers, writers, and speakers who are able to thoughtfully and creatively engage big questions concerning right and wrong, justice, freedom, beauty, knowledge, and truth. By evaluating historical and contemporary arguments, philosophy students are able to justify their conception of the world and humanity’s place in it with cogent reasons.
