专业概况

在这里学什么？

Most of the skills required for student and career success how to learn, how to apply that learning in professional and personal environments, and how to communicate that knowledge are central to philosophy. Philosophy students are taught to evaluate complex problems, identify and examine underlying principles, investigate issues from diverse perspectives, and communicate clearly in both written and oral forms. The philosophy degree provides a thorough grounding in core areas of philosophy, such as the history of philosophy, ethics, and logical argumentation, as well as a core competence in another discipline, encouraging students to creatively pursue cross-disciplinary studies.

The philosophy major provides a thorough grounding in core areas of philosophy (history of philosophy, ethics, and logical argumentation), as well as a four-course specialization within philosophy. Students combine philosophy with a core competence (or even a double major) in another discipline, encouraging them to creatively pursue cross-disciplinary studies. The major concludes with an optional Senior Thesis.

Plan of study

Students develop skills through a core of philosophy courses which cover the history of philosophy, ethics, and logical argumentation. Students also choose four courses in a specialization, such as: philosophy of mind and cognitive science, philosophy of science and technology, applied ethics, philosophy of the social sciences and political philosophy, philosophy of art and aesthetics, history of philosophy, and philosophy of law.

Specializations

History of philosophy

This specialization explores the development and connection of philosophical ideas, concepts, and movements throughout time through an in-depth analysis of major transformative moments and figures, and examines how philosophical positions result from an ongoing conversation with previous thinkers.
