Philosophy explores the most fundamental and
general questions concerning the nature of knowledge, reality and values. It engages in the analysis
of the logic of valid argument applicable to all
rational thought and in the study of the methodology
and basic concepts of all other disciplines.
Philosophy lends itself to interdisciplinary programs
such as legal studies, women's and gender studies,
environmental studies, international studies and
various other possibilities.
