Philosophy
The study of philosophy is concerned with a number of issues about the world and our place in it. These include our understanding of ethics, politics, knowledge, truth, religion and justice. Each of these concerns important notions in society that require careful examination. Students of philosophy learn about the history of ideas that have shaped our intellectual heritage in the West and how they can be better understood. In this way the study of philosophy provides students with an enriched knowledge of our society. Students in the program have gone on to work in philosophy, education, law, business and other areas.
