Liberal Arts with an option in Philosophy

Philosophy training teaches students how to think, especially about the most fundamental questions. Growing out of this belief, the Philosophy program has two general aims. The first is to provide students who may enter a variety of majors at the upper division level with a liberal arts foundation centered in disciplined thought and moral awareness. Such a foundation is important for many professions today, including law, and other graduate programs. The second is to provide students whose eventual goal is teaching and/or research in philosophy, religion or ethics with a strong two-year foundation for entering a philosophy major at a transfer college. Students planning to transfer after graduation should consult the catalog of the college where they intend to complete their studies.
