Philosophy

Have you heard of this one: I think therefore I am.- Descartes. Or what about this one (I really like this one): It requires a great deal of faith for a man to be cured by his own placebos.- John L. McClenahan

These are thought provoking statements that spiral further abstract critical thinking and lengthy conversations. Philosophy has spanned over 2500 years. It covers areas from politics, ethics, reality, religion, society, etc. It searches for truth and value among human life.
A major in philosophy is also a great springboard major that can prepare students for graduate studies, such as law school, medical school or other graduate study programs. From the major some skills that are gained are the following: thinking logically, critically, independently, and ethically. Strong oral and written communication skills are also major areas that are developed throughout the major.

To share more information with you about this major I have selected 3 very helpful videos that i believe sum up the philosophy major very well. Please enjoy!
