Philosophy examines existence, knowledge, and ethical living. Those who study philosophy explore inquiries related to scientific inquiry, human behavior, morality, divinity, creativity, and life's purpose. Philosophy students cultivate critical thinking skills while honing their written and verbal communication. These transferable abilities prove useful across academic fields, professional pursuits, and personal growth. As philosophy addresses foundational questions and their solutions, it intersects with all university subjects, making it perfect for combining with another major or minor. The discipline equips learners for diverse careers and advanced studies requiring problem-solving, clear communication, adaptability, and knowledge application. Philosophy serves as strong preparation for professions in legal fields, public policy, healthcare, education, ministry, journalism, entertainment, and business sectors. The Philosophy Department provides Bachelor of Arts degrees in both general Philosophy and Philosophy with Pre-Law focus, alongside minors in Philosophy and Law & Ethics.
