About the Program
The word philosophy literally translates to 'love of wisdom.' When you study philosophy you pursue wisdom through reasoning and critical reflection about the most fundamental principles, concepts, and presuppositions that underlie our understanding of the world and the way we live our lives.
The philosophy program at FSU provides an opportunity to engage in disciplined reflection about matters that concern every human being ourselves, our world, our interaction with one another and therefore is both intellectually stimulating and personally enriching.
In addition to the intellectual and personal values embodied in the study of philosophy, you will acquire critical thinking skills, communication skills, and awareness of values, that are applicable to other academic areas and readily transferable to non-academic careers.
You can choose from one of three tracks for your degree: Law School Preparation, Philosophical Studies, or Social Justice. The first two tracks require all upper level courses taken once you transfer to FSU. For the Social Justice track, you may transfer in some of your courses, as specified under the track requirements in this guide.
