About the Department

The study of philosophy invites students to explore the most profound questions about human existence, questions about the nature of reality and the sources of moral obligation.. As students explore their own views about these perennial questions, they learn crucial skills that will help them in almost any career. Philosophy students learn to write clearly and persuasively, to assess arguments carefully, and to solve problems creatively. The major allows students to survey the full range of philosophical inquiry and provides excellent preparation for careers in business, public administration, medicine, and the law. An optional concentration in “Politics, Philosophy, and Law” allows majors to focus on the interdisciplinary study of the law.
