PHILOSOPHY
at
Central Connecticut State University
Philosophy is a critical, self-critical, comprehensive inquiry
about knowledge, reasoning, reality, norms and values. It deals with
corresponding problems arising in science, morality, art, literature, religion
and the social and natural worlds. Accordingly, engaging in philosophy can both
address curiosity about matters of lasting significance and help us develop
skills for dealing intelligently and sensitively with all aspects of life.
The Department strives above all for excellence in teaching and
for the active and support of undergraduates studying in preparation for
careers in the law, education, communications, and other professions, as well
as for personal improvement. It supports the scholarly research and
professional activities of the faculty.
The Department offers majors and minors in:
*Logic and Philosophy
of Science
*Theoretical and
Practical Ethics
*African, African-American, and Asian Philosophy
*Philosophy of
Religion and Religious Studies
In addition, the Department is responsible
for three interdisciplinary
concentrations, one in
Religious Studies, another in
African-American Studies,
and a third in Peace Studies.
The Philosophy Department is also an active participant in the university Honors Program.
WHY PHILOSOPHY AT CCSU?
Philosophy
majors greatly develop their logical and value assessment abilities, and their
awareness of connections between science, morality, the law, religion, and
other areas of human thought. They do exceptionally well in the GRE, LSAT, and
GMAT and other school admission tests, in law school, and other graduate
studies, and excel in teaching, publishing, sales, information and digital
technology, the ministry, counseling, and management.
