Philosophy is an excellent field of study for anyone wishing a
broad education that teaches one how to think and promotes
self-awareness. It is particularly appropriate as a major or
minor for those contemplating a career in law, government or
business administration, public service, politics, education, or
religion. It is often appropriate to study philosophy as a double
major and the department's major is designed to make double majoring
easy.
The Department offers a wide variety of courses especially developed
for students in business, health sciences, education, and policy
studies as well as for those who are pursuing a scientific or
humanities career. Philosophy provides invaluable critical skills,
insight into methodological presuppositions, and an appreciation of
the intellectual currents that have shaped history.
A special component of the Department's program is a series of
courses in applied philosophy, the study of which provides skills
with practical application in one's personal, social, and
professional life. Courses in this area include Contemporary Moral
Problems, Philosophy of Law, Biomedical Ethics, and Business Ethics
