Philosophy
As a philosophy student, you’ll explore questions such as, “What is reality?” “What is the nature of consciousness?” and “What is the meaning of life?” – the types of questions that not only prepare you for a career, but make you a better thinker.
  • Put your mind through its paces by analyzing concepts, critically evaluating others’ views, and providing sound arguments for what you believe.
  • Learn from full-time philosophy faculty, not graduate students.
  • Your upper level classes have fewer than 20 students, and some fewer than 10 students.
  • Perform well on graduate entrance tests like the GRE, LSAT, MCAT and GMAT, and succeed in law school and other graduate study.
