The study of philosophy provides an opportunity to explore the most fundamental concerns of human life. Students examine and assess the concepts of the world's major thinkers and most influential texts regarding such themes as human value, religious experience, political order, truth, and ultimate reality.
Philosophical study helps to develop such valuable and transferable skills as analytical reading and writing, creative and critical thinking, and independent judgment.
