Match Your Ambition with the Flexibility of Combining Disciplines
Our philosophy programs afford you the opportunity to synthesize questions from other disciplines and infuse them with your own experiences to better understand your place in society. Our certificates allow you to expand your knowledge of a particular topic, while still complementing your major degree. For example, a student studying nursing may find it helpful to obtain a certificate in moral and political philosophy, as ethics and bioethics classes can be extremely useful for someone interested in any medical profession.
