Philosophy Concentration
The Philosophy concentration provides students with an opportunity to study the nature, methods, problems and achievements of philosophical inquiry. The general goals of Liberal Arts find a place in each of the concentration area courses, with the following goals receiving special emphasis: the ability to think rationally and critically, an awareness of ethical values, an appreciation of aesthetic values, an awareness of how the past affects the present and future, and an understanding of the relationship between the individual and the social settings with which one interacts.
