Philosophy, BA
Philosophy invites us to stand at the intersection of faith and reason, where life’s more important questions reside.
What is the good life? Why does God permit evil? What is beauty? The Philosophy major is designed for students who enjoy thinking deeply about being human. In our program, you’ll become acquainted with the essential topics, thinkers, and movements of philosophy. To start, our devoted faculty will usher you through 3,000 years of philosophical inquiry, from Plato to Plantinga and beyond. You will then have the opportunity to study how philosophy informs various disciplines, such as politics, art, or cinema.
