Philosophy addresses some of the most fundamental and difficult questions there are, such as:
- What is the nature of the human mind?
- What makes knowledge trustworthy?
- What are the standards of good reasoning?
- What is a just society?
- What is the best way to live?
Philosophy as an academic discipline attempts to answer these questions with a combination of creativity and analytical rigor.

Convocation Spring 2025
Our students will never fully understand how proud we are to watch them walk across that stage and receive their degrees. We support them throughout their journey and provide guidance when necessary, but ultimately, it is up to them. And we couldn't be happier to see them succeed. Find out which students crossed the stage this Spring.
