Philosophy Department
About Our Department
Who am I? Why am I here? How shall I live? The eternal questions of philosophy are the core of the philosophy program at OCU. Philosophy fosters the ability to read with understanding, to think deeply, to argue rationally, and to evaluate positions critically. The formal study of philosophy at OCU is designed to train people who are capable of acting most responsibly, because
they have the clearest conception of their goals, the most comprehensive understanding of the world in which these goals are to be realized, and the most realistic assessment of the available means toward these goals.
We offer a wide variety of programs designed to suit the needs of individual students. In addition to a Philosophy Major and Minor, the department
also supports a Minor in Ethics, a Minor in Rhetoric, and a joint degree in Philosophy and Religion. Our majors have distinguished themselves in careers in philosophy, law, business, and ministry. Indeed, philosophy is the ideal major for any student who contemplates a career which places a premium on the ability to think critically, creatively, and systematically.
