Philosophy
Option to Liberal Arts, (AA.PHI)
Philosophy training teaches students how to think, especially
about the most fundamental questions. Growing out of this
belief, the Philosophy program has two general aims.
The first is to provide students who may enter a
variety of majors at the upper division level with a liberal
arts foundation centered in disciplined thought and moral
awareness. Such a foundation is important for many
professions today, including law, and other graduate
programs.
The second is to provide students whose eventual goal is
teaching and/or research in philosophy, religion or ethics
with a strong two-year foundation for entering a philosophy
major at a transfer college.
Students planning to transfer after graduation should
consult the catalog of the college where they intend to
complete their studies.
Graduates of this program should be able to:
Think critically about a variety of philosophical
or religious issues;
Write at a level that uses discourse and analysis
appropriate to philosophy or comparative religion;
Demonstrate breadth and diversity by discussing
approaches from a variety of philosophical or
religious traditions;
Demonstrate sound judgment in approaching
contemporary moral problems;
Transfer to a four-year institution in a philosophy
or philosophy related program.
