Associate of Arts in Philosophy (Co-op)

Program Overview

Take the first step to a career as a lawyer, politician, motivational speaker, writer and more with an Associate of Arts Degree in Philosophy.

Philosophers ask the big questions, such as “Why am I here?”, “Is there a God?” and “How do we tell right from wrong?” Philosophy emphasizes thinking as a pleasurable end in itself and as a method of critical inquiry. This helps develop theories that enable us to understand the world and our place within it.

In this program, you’ll study ancient philosophy, including the thoughts and teachings of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle; Asian philosophy, which introduces belief systems such as Taoism and Buddhism; and philosophy of love, law, mind, art and education. You’ll also study ethics and learn about the connection between religion and philosophy, all while honing your critical-thinking skills. Courses also explore the influence of science on society, the problems with philosophy, and logical reasoning.
