A Philosophy major may appeal to any student who is interested in a broad liberal arts experience.
Philosophy is a core discipline in the humanities.
Many of the other disciplines in both the arts and sciences have evolved from philosophy. Natural philosophy and moral philosophy have been part of education since its beginning in the academies of the Greeks. Philosophy continues to explore subjects which range across the arts, sciences, history, literature, and ethics. No major offers a greater variety of topics or fewer restrictions on the range of its investigations. Philosophy also appeals to the analytical mind.
