Overview

Philosophy at Creighton University often plays a larger role in Jesuit, Catholic universities than at other institutions of higher education. Jesuit universities challenge students to tackle big questions from two perspectives—philosophical and religious. Jesuit education is committed to using both faith and reason in harmony.

Philosophy is a rigorous discipline, and philosophy majors as a group perform very well on entrance exams, including the LSAT, GRE, GMAT and MCAT.

Applied Ethics Minor

The applied ethics minor provides you with an understanding of applied ethics from the perspectives of philosophy and theology. The minor introduces you to the differences and similarities in philosophical and theological approaches to applied ethics, different theories of ethics in these two disciplines, and how to relate the two.

History and Philosophy of Science Minor

This interdisciplinary minor introduces you to the key historical events in the emergence of science and to the philosophical debates about what counts as science, theories of scientific method, realism and anti-realism and the role of values in science.

Philosophy Minor

The philosophy minor will give you an understanding of how philosophers of the past have approached a variety of philosophical problems and an understanding of how a single set of related philosophical problems could be approached in a variety of different ways.

Outcomes

Studying philosophy will equip you with skills in analytical writing, careful reading and critical thinking.

Philosophy at Creighton combines faith and reason, and can lead you to develop a mature, reflective faith.
