Philosophy is the critical study of alternatives.
A course in philosophy should provide students with a working acquaintance with reflective methods which can be applied to their interests generally. A minor in philosophy can be correlated with a major field in such a way as to reinforce comprehension of the issues involved in that field. The major in philosophy will prepare a student for graduate work in a wide range of fields.
