Why Study Philosophy?

Studying philosophy can help you develop the habits of thinking, writing, and communicating needed to navigate successfully the complex realities of professional, social, and personal life. Our students learn to critically analyze prevailing values, norms, and institutions, and to imagine and create flourishing lives and communities. Learn more here.
