Looking to investigate life’s deepest questions? When you major in philosophy, that’s what you’ll spend your time doing. Your courses in history, ethics, logic, rationality, religion and social and political philosophy will give you a global view of knowledge. You’ll use that to examine the nature of truth, goodness and beauty. You’ll consider the meaning of life, what we owe to other humans and the environment, the nature of consciousness, authenticity, personal autonomy and God. You'll also learn the practical skills of critical self-reflection, and you'll fine-tune your analytic and argumentative skills for strategic assessments, discussions and debates that will be useful in a variety of professions.
