The Department of Philosophy offers a major program that serves two different goals:
- -For students who desire to achieve a general liberal arts education and who do not plan to do graduate work in philosophy, courses are selected to enable the student to become a cultured, liberally-educated person.
- -For students who plan to do graduate work in philosophy, the department has designated a faculty adviser for Preprofessional Philosophy. This adviser carefully selects a series of courses and seminars in order to give the students a firm grounding in the discipline and prepare them for acceptance into graduate school.

Philosophy addresses one's life as well as one’s career. The aim of Philosophy courses is to help the undergraduate student examine the ultimate nature of people, the universe, God, the basic principles of moral evaluation as they apply to personal questions and social and political policies. Since these concepts underlie most human endeavors, the study of philosophy, together with the practice of its methods of analysis and argumentation, prepares students to responsibly address basic problems later encountered, whether personal, social, or professional. Nationally, Philosophy majors rank second of all (nearly 100 tested) majors in verbal and analytical aptitudes. Philosophy assists the student in reasoning well and writing effectively. Consequently, a Philosophy major serves as an excellent preparation for the professions, including law, business, and government service as well as for graduate study and the teaching of philosophy.
