A modern curriculum that embraces traditional and new ideas
Do we have free will? What makes an action right or wrong? What is justice? What makes you the same person today as you were a year ago? Philosophy tackles questions like these–basic questions about life and the human condition. As a philosophy student you’ll study classic texts in depth and also engage with current thinking in ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of the arts. Philosophy is excellent preparation for careers in law, public administration, or any field that requires skills in analysis, reasoning, and writing. It connects up with many other disciplines, so students majoring in the arts, humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences, often pursue an additional major or minor in philosophy. It is also integral to the Social Justice Studies minor.
