The Philosophy Department at California State University, San Bernardino focuses on delivering high-quality undergraduate education through intimate classroom environments. Our faculty actively engage in scholarly research, with specialized expertise in metaphysics, philosophical logic, and political philosophy.
Studying philosophy serves as exceptional groundwork for careers in law, business, public service, media, and numerous other fields, while also providing strong foundations for advanced academic pursuits. The discipline emphasizes precise reasoning and analytical assessment of concepts, making it ideal preparation for roles demanding innovative thinking and comprehensive viewpoints. Rather than teaching specific vocational skills, philosophy cultivates fundamental abilities that equip students for increasingly complex professional challenges throughout their careers.
Philosophy's applicability spans remarkably wide areas. It enables examination and development of viewpoints on subjects ranging from theology and scientific inquiry to linguistics, reasoning systems, morality, governance, and jurisprudence. Characteristically, philosophy steps back from practical applications in these domains to explore foundational questions about their essence and underlying principles.
