Bachelor of Arts - Philosophy

The study of philosophy is fundamental in pursuing the most important questions regarding one’s understanding of themselves, others and the world in which they live. PLU philosophy students engage in a systematic and sustained examination of the basic concepts of life, such as justice, knowledge, goodness, and the self. By scrutinizing methods, assumptions, and implications, they are able to explore lifelong questions of meaning, thought, and action. Through this study, students will sharpen their skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, research, analysis, interpretation and writing.
