Bachelor [Philosophy] From Capital University

The  programme taught at Capital University offers theories and methods for tackling these questions in a way that brings scholarly rigor to bear on matters that are at the heart of what it means to be human, as individuals and as part of a community.

The faculty members in philosophy at Capital represent a wide range of experience, backgrounds and points of view. Specialties within the faculty include applied ethics, classical Greek philosophy, philosophy of religion and the philosophy of science.

As a philosophy major or minor, you'll explore foundational questions like:

• What can we know?

• What beliefs are reasonable?

• What does it mean to be a happy, fulfilled person?

• What is human nature?

• Does life have a meaning?

• What do we mean by freedom, and how do we realize it?

You'll do this through historical studies in philosophy, logic, and the relation of philosophy to science, the arts, religion, health care and politics and other disciplines. You'll have opportunities to study contemporary problems in philosophy. And you'll be encouraged to study independently. 

Careers

Many employers seek out philosophy majors and minors because they are critical thinkers and careful communicators — skills in high demand for leadership positions. Philosophy graduates tend to combine a useful blend of imagination and critical thinking skills, which often make them creative entrepreneurs and agents of change in society.

Capital's philosophy graduates choose any different career paths after they leave Capital, including law, public policy, government, technology, and the ministry. Others pursue advanced degrees in philosophy so they can teach.
