Program Overview

The word “philosophy” derives from the Greek meaning “love of wisdom.” While philosophy is an integral discipline unto itself, it is also an intellectual disposition that permeates all of academic study and has been at the heart of Jesuit and Catholic education since their inception.

The objectives of the philosophy program at The University of Scranton are:

To inspire students to understand and consider the basic philosophical questions implicit in experiences of the self, others and the universe, including questions concerning our relationship to ultimate transcendence (God and immortality).

To develop in students a clear habit of critical thinking within the framework of current philosophical methodology and accepted norms of scholarship.

To introduce students to the writings of great philosophers, past and present, and to study these writings critically.

To help students formulate a philosophy of life consistent with the objectives of a liberal education at a Jesuit and Catholic university.

Many students choose to earn a second major in philosophy as a complement to their primary area of study. It is also likely that within a student’s first major, questions arise about values and methodology. Philosophy can help to explore the answers to these questions.

Even more students earn minors in philosophy, tailoring these minors to suit their personal and academic needs and interests.
