Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy

Philosophy as an undergraduate field of study will give you an invaluable background in how to think creatively, as well as critically. This skill is vital in an era where people change their careers frequently. At Sonoma State, students who major and minor in philosophy learn to engage with ongoing debates within the philosophical tradition, debates about ethics, political and social issues, technology, the environment, spirituality, film and aesthetics, law, and other issues highly relevant to contemporary society. Students gain the necessary tools for reflection, self-awareness and growth, and they develop an understanding of civic responsibility and engagement.
