Overview

The courses of the Philosophy program of Georgia College concentrate on issues, which are relevant to students' lives such as how to live, the nature of justice, the role of reason and emotion in a good life and the meaning and role of art in our lives. After graduation our students have gone on to graduate school, law school, the Peace Corps, nonprofit organizations and private industry.

Courses and co-curricular activities emphasize global perspectives and awareness of diversity in historical and contemporary contexts.
