Philosophy - Bellarmine University

Philosophy from Bellarmine University is a Campus Bachelor Philosophy degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The study of philosophy enhances analytical, critical, and interpretive skills. A major in philosophy provides the foundation not only for graduate studies and degrees in philosophy , but for virtually any discipline that requires critical, evaluative, or diagnostic skills. According to a study conducted by the American Philosophical Association in the early 1990s, which was reported in the Wall Street Journal (10/24/95), philosophy majors who took the Graduate Record Examination between 1990 and 1993 finished first among all fields in verbal skills and third in analytical skills. Philosophy is not simply one among the many liberal arts, but rather foundational insofar as it takes up and examines the unexamined first principles of all the other disciplines. Thus, for example, though every science makes certain claims about what it knows and what is true, it is philosophy alone that investigates what knowledge and truth are and what "it means to say .I know and That is true." The study of philosophy, therefore, is central to the mission of Bellarmine University . Guided as it is by the love of truth (in veritatis amore), and directed toward encouraging students to develop the intellectual and moral qualities necessary to pursue a life worth living, a Bellarmine education is rooted in and enriched by philosophy's ongoing investigation.
