Students pursuing this degree combine logic and ethics to solve quandaries that arise in law, science, engineering and society. Graduates will be equipped with historical context of philosophy's greatest questions, an understanding of new philosophical questions and a unique point of view that prepares them for advanced degrees in philosophy, law, medicine and science. The program focuses on the core strengths of the department while providing students the opportunity to become competent as generalists in the history of philosophy and as teachers of introductory logic. In doing so, the program prepares students for entry into Ph.D. programs in Philosophy and related disciplines. It also meets the ongoing demand for qualified philosophy teachers from area community colleges as well as training students to teach in Mexican universities and secondary schools. With the flexibility of the Portfolio Project option, students are able to meet a variety of local and regional needs as well, serving the needs of local secondary school systems, pre-law preparation, and community administration and activism.
