Key Summary

About: The BA in Philosophy focuses on critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and logic. This program encourages students to explore fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, and reality, equipping them with the skills to analyze complex ideas and arguments.

Career Outcomes: Students can consider various career paths such as philosophy teacher, lawyer, ethicist, public policy analyst, or roles in journalism and consulting. The skills gained in this program are valuable in any field that requires strong analytical and communication abilities.

The philosophy courses in the core curriculum introduce the student to wisdom. Still, they also provide the ability to integrate the liberal arts by showing their relation to each other and philosophy and theology in an organized view of the whole of reality. The elective courses in philosophy build on the knowledge acquired in the core curriculum, deepening an understanding that inevitably remains somewhat elementary in the core curriculum.

The philosophy major, which requires a student to take another 24 credit hours in upper-division courses beyond the required core philosophy courses, deepens his understanding of what is studied in the core. It also prepares students for graduate studies in philosophy or theology.
