The mission of the Philosophy Department falls into two interconnected areas: to produce clear thinkers and skilled communicators, and to advance understanding of our culture and history through an examination of the ways they have been shaped by philosophical ideas. This mission means that the Department aims to provide students with the critical reasoning skills and communication skills that will prepare them for advanced study in philosophy as well as success in today’s workforce, with an understanding of our culture and history that is a necessary component of responsible citizenry.
