Philosophy 

Philosophers explore the true nature of reality and the meaning of human life, to determine the possibility and limits of knowledge, to clarify the demands of justice and the character of good and evil, and to ponder the existence of God. Training in philosophy serves to sharpen the tools of thinking for use in any endeavor. Thus, graduates may pursue career or graduate opportunities in areas such as humanities, business, or law.
