Description:

Learn how to think, not what to think. Build a solid background in philosophy while developing the skills and mindset that are sought by many professions: the ability to debate and present an argument, think analytically and creatively solve problems. Covering views that include western, east Asian, African and Islamic thought, our courses deliver a deep understanding of the field of philosophy. You’ll tackle life’s big questions and explore how the concepts of freedom, happiness and justice have evolved and been treated by great thinkers over time. Philosophy gives an exciting direction to your education and your future. You’ll be prepared to join our alumni in areas such as advocacy work, human rights, bioethics, education, social services, research and publishing, or to apply to law school, an MBA or other grad studies.
