Philosophy
Offered at IU Northwest by College of Arts and Sciences.
About
The philosophy program at IU Northwest is designed to contribute to the intellectual training of its undergraduate students by acquainting them with the most important developments in the history of ideas. Courses in the program emphasize clear and cogent thinking about fundamental problems, locate the origins of these problems in the writings of the great philosophers, and provide in-depth examinations of proposed solutions. A degree in philosophy is excellent preparation for any career that requires clear thinking and strong analytical skills. This includes law, medicine, journalism, teaching, and the clergy, as well as work in corporations, government, and nonprofit organizations. Thanks to their excellent reasoning skills, philosophy majors tend to be especially successful when taking standardized tests (such as the GRE, the MCAT, or the LSAT) to compete for admission to graduate school.
