The Philosophy major at Concordia enriches your life, your mind, and your professional potential.
Program Overview
Enrich your life, mind, and professional potential, and think of getting a degree in philosophy.
A philosophy education is the love of wisdom. You will develop a trained mind that thinks clearly, precisely, and rigorously. The philosophy education program will introduce you to the central texts of the world’s greatest ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary thinkers. You will learn the methods of careful definition, logical analysis, and argumentation. In addition to core foundations of philosophy, our program emphasizes apologetics, moral philosophy, bioethics, human rights, and human dignity.
The Concordia University Wisconsin philosophy education program prepares you to be a thinker. You can specialize in any area of philosophy that interests you, thus creating your own intellectual course of learning.
What to Expect
You will be immersed in the great conversation of history’s deepest thinkers, trained in logic and ethics, and able to defend faith and human dignity. You will learn how to engage with society’s dominant discourses and trends through a Christian perspective and worldview. And, you will be well versed in critical and analytical thinking throughout your philosophy education.
The Bachelor of Arts in philosophy program nurtures the ability to engage in systematic thinking and provides you with the critical distance to call culture’s dominant ideologies into question, and form your own responses. The application of faith, beliefs, and texts teach you how to find and communicate truth, and helps you understand yourself, the world, and others in it.
