About the Program

Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? If you enjoy thinking about these kinds of big questions and contemplating the answers, a Philosophy degree will provide you with the knowledge and skills to grow your interest into a career. Grounded in the study of civilizations from ancient times to modern day, philosophy explores different beliefs and ways of thinking. It encourages critical inquiry and debate about fundamental issues related to existence, reality, and society. As a discipline that has universal relevance, a degree in philosophy is highly transferable and can lead to opportunities in many sectors, including communication, research, and law. Writer, film or book critic, teacher, counselor, and lawyer are just a few of the various professional roles that can be pursued.

In an associate program in Philosophy, you will explore contemporary and historical philosophy, moral and ethical reasoning, and logic. This degree is transferable to universities offering a bachelor’s degree in philosophy.

Students should work closely with their advisor and contact their transfer institution choices for more specific transfer information.
