Overview

Courses at Philosophy from Gonzaga University will develop your skills of thought and analysis, engage you in sustained reflection on questions of human nature and personhood, and ask you to examine human morality and values.

The Philosophy Department offers a Bachelor of Arts major in philosophy and a minor in philosophy, which aim to deepen students' love of wisdom through the study of the intellectual and moral traditions of civilization.

Careers

Many employers and professional schools value the well-rounded education of liberal arts majors, and a major in philosophy in particular is useful preparation for a variety of careers.
