The study of philosophy works to clarify thinking about questions of fundamental importance, and to improve justification for given answers. We aim to promote student development as independent and critical thinkers and we guide students in their reflective engagement.
The Academic Advising Office offers academic advising services to all students who are pursuing a major or minor within the College of Arts & Humanities.
We have partnered with other disciplines on campus to form two other majors: Philosophy, Politics, & Economics and Cognitive Science.

Philosophy is a preferred pre-law and pre-medicine major because it develops strong analytic and critical thinking skills. These transferrable skills are essential in other professions, such as information technology, journalism, banking, counseling, non-profit leadership, real estate, law, marketing, consulting, and business leadership.
