Admissions and personnel officers look favorably at a philosophy major as a sign of a well-rounded individual with carefully developed analytical skills. Philosophy majors complete their Independent Learning Requirement in a variety of ways. Philosophy consists of dialogue, and because our class size is limited to 25, students can be assured of individual attention and instruction. There are also numerous opportunities to pursue philosophy outside of the classroom. The Philosophy Department sponsors a lecture series, usually related to the topic of the department Seminar.
Philosophy provides excellent preparation for any profession.
