Overview

The study of philosophy and religion is a foundational element in a well-rounded liberal education. By developing the ability to write and think clearly, a philosophy major or a minor in philosophy or religion constitutes an outstanding preparation for a wide variety of careers.

The Philosophy program of Jacksonville University emphasizes the reading of primary texts in the philosophical tradition. In sharp contrast to the deductive presentation favored by many textbooks that conceals the origin of the knowledge they present, the use of primary texts permits the student to follow the path of discovery traveled by the founders of the philosophical tradition. This approach encourages a confidence in reason to resolve difficult problems. This unique training is an ideal course of study for students who desire a solid liberal arts education.

Learning outcomes

With a curriculum that encourages a full range of philosophical thinking, the Philosophy B.A. degree and Minor offer an ideal format for engaged learning. Students can look forward to developing habits of critical and rigorous thinking through reading, writing, and discussion of philosophical texts that explore what it really means to be a human being.

Our students form close mentoring relationships with their professors, and frequent guest speakers and lecturers open them to new perspectives. A philosophy degree will both broaden your understanding and train you to think and write clearly, providing you with valuable skills that can be employed in virtually any career.
