(Bachelor of Arts Degree)
The Philosophy program will help students develop into critical, independent thinkers who will make positive contributions to their communities by using the information available to them to form good judgments. Because we now have unprecedented access to information, the department aims to equip students with the skills necessary to engage in a critical analysis and interpretation. Students should have thoroughly justified reasons for believing what they believe and be capable of critically engaging with others’ beliefs.
Total credit hours required for degree: 120
Learning Objectives
Students who complete the B.A. will:
- Be able to summarize, analyze, and formulate precise discursive arguments;
- Demonstrate understanding of philosophical texts by restating views, identifying core claims, and drawing reasonable inferences;
- Demonstrate the ability to explain, apply, and critically analyze basic philosophical concepts and/or historically significant perspectives;
- Demonstrate the ability to explain, apply, and critically analyze the philosophical concepts that are used in advanced discussions within at least one subfield of philosophy (such as epistemology, philosophy of science, ethics, or political or legal philosophy).
