All philosophy majors study ancient philosophy and modern philosophy. The concentration in the History of Philosophy allows students with a special interest in the historical development of ideas to study other periods and obtain a more complete understanding of how they connect.

The study of philosophy offers intrinsic benefits as well as instrumental ones. It provides a pathway to better understand and define yourself as an individual, develop your potential, and determine the kind of life you want to lead. It also teaches crucial reasoning and communication skills.
