The mission of the Philosophy program is to educate its students in the history and major subdisciplines of philosophy and the role of philosophy in the Catholic intellectual tradition, to cultivate their ethical sensibility and logical rigor, and to equip them with critical and analytical skills essential for success in a wide array of careers.
The Philosophy Department at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ offers students the opportunity to study philosophy, from contemporary, historical, and specifically Catholic perspectives. To that end, it offers the B.A. in Philosophy, as well as the minor in Philosophy. The Department also provides the intellectual formation for seminarians enrolled at the Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary. For these seminarians, it offers a specialization in pre-theology designed to prepare them for major seminary, as well as ensure compliance with the Program for Priestly Formation. The Department also offers an interdisciplinary Ethics Specialization, consisting of a core of Philosophy courses, together with interdisciplinary electives, and a capstone research project.
The Philosophy Department at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ is incredibly focused on student success. They are always making their offices available for any questions, whether it is about course content, course structure, or even just academic advising.
Bottom line: A degree in philosophy does not prepare you for one specific job (it’s not like going to Engineering school or Nursing school), but it does prepare you to succeed in a variety of different professions and grow your income over time.
All of the philosophy professors are engaging and entertaining. I've never laughed more and learned more in the same class period than in a Philosophy class.
