As a 哲学 major, you’ll learn to see the connections between very different fields of thought such as science, 宗教, 和道德. And philosophy majors develop strong skills in writing, critical thinking, interpreting difficult arguments, and in the communication of complex ideas.
We recommend that prospective majors take an introductory course and the logic sequence (PHI 1001 and PHI 2001) prior to taking other courses in the major.
