Philosophy

St. Joseph's University’s philosophy courses provide an excellent foundation for professional study in law, history, education, the natural and social sciences, and religious studies. Our program challenges students to think critically while studying a history of ideas and various perspectives.

Philosophy, the love of wisdom, is at the heart of a liberal arts education. It questions and interprets a full range of human experiences while analytically examining the assumptions, methods and claims of other bodies of knowledge represented in the curriculum, including its own.

PHI 123 and PHI 124 are required, along with 12 additional credits chosen from the course offerings (9 must be above the 100 level).
