The philosophical temper begins with wonder and is nurtured by disciplined thought. Through its course offerings, for the Major and non-Major alike, Alma's Philosophy Department stimulates this sense of wonder and develops the capacity for analytical and critical judgement.
Philosophy is the foundation of all disciplines and philosophers draw on all fields of study.
Because of the centralness of Philosophy, Alma's Philosophy Program is useful preparation for careers in business and industry, government, journalism, law, ministry and teaching.
