The Philosophy Department fosters critical thinking and articulate communication about profound issues to enrich lives with greater awareness, adaptability, innovation, and purpose. Philosophy majors can focus on: artistic expression and creativity, ethical systems and social equity, or craft a personalized concentration. Our department additionally provides a philosophy minor option (available entirely through online coursework). Those pursuing philosophy as a secondary major or minor can fulfill substantial requirements via the Global Citizenship Program (GCP) curriculum. Webster University's philosophy degrees emphasize both comprehending our world and empowering students to improve it. The program builds expertise in philosophical frameworks while honing advanced capabilities in analytical reasoning, persuasive speaking and writing, cooperative solution-finding, moral judgment, and identifying factors that enhance or obstruct meaningful, fair living. Alumni enter diverse professional arenas spanning corporate sectors, financial services, communications, academic institutions, medical fields, charitable organizations, tech industries, human services, mental health professions, legal practice, and beyond.
