As a philosophy major, you will study the history of philosophy and engage in contemporary arguments about God, nature, and the human person. Your professors will guide you through the works of thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Hobbes and Descartes, Hume, Rousseau, Kant and Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger and Wittgenstein, and many others, and encourage you to explore philosophical questions systematically and rigorously. A major in philosophy offers excellent preparation for graduate studies in other fields, e.g. Business Administration, International Relations, Law, and Theology.
