Plan Outline

This plan is for a major in Philosophy.

Studying Philosophy provides intellectual skills which can help you to think critically, to better organise your thoughts and to present them logically and persuasively. Philosophy also addresses fundamental questions about the nature of reality, language, meaning, human knowledge and values. It provides a useful complement to studies in many disciplines but especially those in which logical thinking and clear expression is important. The range of Upper level courses makes it possible for students majoring in other disciplines to select courses complementing their interests
