Philosophical inquiry shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Our Bachelor of Arts program with a Philosophy Major offers a comprehensive exploration of Western philosophical traditions from antiquity to modern times. Throughout your studies, you'll confront complex ethical dilemmas, master fundamental philosophical methods, and enhance your critical analysis and articulate communication skills.
During your second and third years, you can tailor your studies by selecting from diverse subjects like Corporate Ethics, Symbolic Logic, Ontology, Philosophy of Faith, and Theory of Knowledge. The curriculum also involves studying influential philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas while developing your ability to assess arguments concerning truth, existence, and diverse worldviews.
Though few philosophy graduates become professional philosophers, the valuable skills and insights gained translate to numerous professions. Earning a Bachelor of Arts (Major: Philosophy) equips you with the analytical and evaluative abilities essential for success in scholarly research, corporate leadership, policy formulation, government, media, global commerce, and diplomatic relations.
