Philosophy - DePaul University

Philosophy from DePaul University is a Campus Bachelor Philosophy degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Department of Philosophy serves the needs of the student who seeks an understanding of philosophical issues for personal enrichment, the student who desires a more fundamental appreciation of philosophy in support of law, medicine, business, and various academic disciplines, and the student who wishes to continue the study of philosophy at the graduate level. Through its courses and programs, the department acquaints students with various philosophical systems and with basic problems posed by diverse thinkers. Courses have been designed to highlight both the humanistic and technical features of philosophy. The department also recognizes the important need for skills and training. Its courses in logic and analysis have been designed to help students become more perceptive in their experiences and more critical in their thinking. Further, the department is aware that in our age of rapid change, society often tends to neglect the meaning and worth of the person. Courses are therefore offered which investigate and emphasize the dignity of the person; and by helping one understand the nature and grounds of ethical judgments, to promote an appreciation and ordering of human values. The department has recently completed a thorough revamping of its entire undergraduate program. Our purpose has been (1) to ensure that our Liberal Studies courses remain responsive to the needs of the student who does not plan to specialize in philosophy; (2) to expand and enrich our offerings for philosophy majors.
