Philosophy is the study of the principles of knowledge and valid reasoning; the foundations of morality, law, and society; and the fundamental structures of reality. It is an attempt to understand the basic relationships between human beings, God, and nature that guide the personal and professional lives of people and that constitute an essential aspect of human culture. It is also a search for critical tools to evaluate these commitments and to ensure objectivity, disciplined insight, and rational argument. The Department of Philosophy offers two undergraduate degree programs, the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with a Pre-Law Concentration. Majors are urged to consult with their advisers in order to prepare the course of study most appropriate to their individual interests and needs. All majors planning to attend graduate school should consult closely with their advisers concerning courses appropriate for their anticipated graduate programs.
