Department of Philosophy

What is ultimately real? What is the nature and
extent of our knowledge? Is beauty only in the eye of the beholder?
Philosophy seeks answers to these kinds of fundamental questions.
Students who study philosophy can gain an appreciation of the various
answers to such questions as well as formulate their own answers.
The philosophy major is designed to give students
an understanding of the historical development of philosophic concepts
and to introduce students to the logical tools applicable to philosophic
work. Many students are double majors because they find that the
study of philosphy and the study of a particular discipline (such
as sociology or biology) are mutually enhancing.
