Students can obtain a certificate of achievement by successfully completing all required courses for this major with at least a C grade. Contra Costa College's Philosophy programs aim to foster essential skills for both career and personal growth, including analytical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and clear communication. These programs also encourage examination of profound existential questions about ethical living, social justice, and personal identity. Rooted in principles of multicultural education and dedicated to upholding truth, honesty, diversity, and fairness, the curriculum nurtures philosophical inquiry (literally "love of wisdom") while preparing students for comprehensive achievement - academically, professionally, and within their communities.
