Philosophy | Bachelor's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 3 to 4 Years | Southern Utah University | USA

At Southern Utah University, the mission of the Philosophy program is twofold: first, to provide students with a rigorous foundation in the core areas of Philosophy (logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and history of philosophy), with classes that expose students to the central concepts, thinkers, methods, and debates in these areas; and second, to nurture students' critical thinking abilities, by showing them how to identify, analyze, construct, and evaluate arguments of all different types, and by requiring them to actively practice these skills (both orally and in written work). In this way, students are equipped for success after college, whether their plan is to pursue philosophy in graduate school, to attend professional school in another discipline, or to immediately begin their careers.
