Associate of Arts for Transfer - Philosophy

Philosophy is a disciplined reflection on the human condition. It can be an analysis and criticism of ideas and statements, or an attempt to synthesize all experience and knowledge, or an exploration of the meaning of life and how best to live it. Critical thinking is developed while examining peoples' responses to fundamental questions. This degree prepares students for transfer to the CSU system for further study in philosophy.

Philosophy is the ultimate "transferable work skill." With its emphasis on reason and argumentation, philosophy is an excellent preparation for a post-baccalaureate career in law, religion, business, international diplomacy, social work, medical management or writing as well as post-graduate education.
