Mission & Learning Outcomes The undergraduate philosophy department seeks to promote a community of Christian scholars dedicated to progress in the love of wisdom in both its theoretical and its practical aspects. The objectives of the philosophy major center on intellectual content and skills becoming part of the student ʼ s life and character: (1) development of the habit of reflective and evaluative thinking; (2) growth in the ability to read and understand philosophic literature and to write well about this material; (3) gaining an acquaintance with the intellectual tradition of the West; (4) acquiring the ability to apply philosophical concepts to life ʼ s problems; (5) making serious progress in formulating one ʼ s own world and life view; and (6) advancing towards full intellectual and personal integration of academic studies with Christian teaching. The philosophy major may be taken as a liberal arts major, as pre- professional preparation for careers in such fields as the law, education and the ministry, or as preparation for graduate study in philosophy.
