Starting with courses that introduce you to the field of philosophy, you will learn about core concepts, movements and methodologies within philosophy, some of which still underlie our current thinking . The applications of what you’ll learn extend beyond the BA, and I have found the skills and insights I have developed to be useful in both my primary discipline and in my personal life. After the introductory courses, you’ll have the freedom to think about very diverse topics in the form of elective courses that suit your discipline. Most of the courses, but my discipline’s specialization course in particular, provided in-depth thought about concepts that were mentioned during my primary bachelor, but that were not further explored. It has helped me to better understand the development of my discipline, and the assumptions that it implicitly holds, and its recurring patterns of thought. If you like to challenge yourself, your views and your assumptions, if you love those “aha!” moments when you suddenly make new connections, and if you thrive in a community of curious and kind people, then this program is absolutely the right choice for you.
