Every human being seeks answers to life’s most basic questions. We offer the opportunity to think critically with renowned faculty and fellow students on the nature of knowledge, truth, and rationality; the meaning of language, being, transcendence, and God; the significance of beauty, goodness, justice, humanity, friendship, love, sexuality, identity, power, and authenticity; and other fundamental human concerns.
Students in our program learn vital lifelong skills in critical thinking, effective writing, persuasive argumentation, and understanding diversity. They go on to graduate study in philosophy, religion, and many other fields; law, medicine, and business schools; K-12 and college teaching; social work and counseling; politics and social activism; writing, editing, and programming; and many other careers.
