Philosophy teaches students to think critically by evaluating ideas and issues thoroughly and with careful precision. In the Ethics concentration, students take a larger proportion of classes that relate to the questions surrounding morality, legality and value theory. Pursue the answers to life's big questions with a degree that teaches you not what to think but how to think. Philosophy is the study of knowledge, reality and existence. The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with the Ethics emphasis trains students to approach philosophical exploration with the rigor of analytic thinking, which goes beyond casual discussions based on opinion. Philosophy majors critically examine questions such as, How can I know for sure if what I believe is true What sort of society is best or Is morality whatever society says it is In scrutinizing potential answers, students hone the skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, conceptual analysis and argumentation. Students learn how to look at the big picture, stay open-minded and always seek truth.
