About the Program
As a discipline, philosophy encourages deep analysis about issues you have already thought about: Is there a Meaning to life, if so, what is it? Does God(s) exist, what are souls and do we have them, what is the right thing to do, what kind of person should I be? It cultivates an interest and even wonder in discovery about ourselves and our place in the universe, and it habituates us to openness and critical reflection about our most cherished beliefs.

My favorite think about Philosophy is Professor Rotert. It was like instantaneous when she walked in the room, I just felt her energy and I knew that was exactly where I was supposed to be.
