Philosophy trains students to think both critically and imaginatively about topics that intersect ethics, law and policy. As a result, the study of philosophy confers a breadth of knowledge and develops reasoning and writing skills.
An undergraduate degree in philosophy is excellent preparation for post-graduate degrees such as law, medicine, business and ministry.
Choose from six degree options in philosophy, each of which can be completed as either a B.A. or as a B.S. degree.
Undergraduate minors provide students an opportunity to emphasize study in an area outside their major curriculum.
