Overview

In so doing the department stresses intellectual values traditionally associated with the study of philosophy: breadth of outlook, rigorous argumentation, imagination, consistency, systematicity, and the dialectical interplay of different minds. It contributes to a liberal arts education by helping students better understand the world, who they are, and what they should do.

Philosophy students at University of Puget Sound learn how to think critically, how to write clearly, and how to reason effectively, which prepares them to pursue a wide variety of career interests.
