Philosophy is the study of disciplined thinking-the ability to read and listen critically, to address problems systematically, and to express ideas articulately. Philosophy as a field of concentration is designed for those students interested in acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the various areas of philosophy, either for their cultural enrichment or as a basis for advanced study and teaching of philosophy. Philosophy is an appropriate major for future teachers and for students preparing for law school or for careers in business, science, and medicine.
