Philosophy

The study of philosophy teaches students how to think critically. What is knowledge? What is reality? What is the difference between right and wrong? Exploration of these questions and more helps students learn about analysis, argument, and culture.

Southeastern's philosophy program includes a broad survey of global philosophy, emphasizing the western tradition. Logic, ethics, and religion are the crucial components of the program.
