Philosophy
Academic Department
The Department of Philosophy introduces students to philosophical issues in human life and cultivates their ability to apply philosophical methods to intellectual, moral and social problems. The study of philosophy develops a critical mind, a balance of analytic and interpretive skills, and a capacity for the development of abstract formulations and their concrete application in human society.
Our graduates have completed advanced degrees in philosophy, international relations, management, theology and psychology and pursued successful careers in law, teaching, business, counseling, publishing, government and social service.

Philosophy (B.A., Minor)
Philosophy – a love of wisdom – encourages students to ponder the question of life. When we ask our students to explain their own existence, they begin to comprehend the vastness of the world, with its litany of questions and observations. Salve Regina University's bachelor's degree in philosophy provides students with intellectual insights and abilities that are valuable throughout life.
