The study of philosophy develops the most basic skills and habits of the mind.

As philosophy majors at Wilkes, students can achieve clarity of thought, precision in the analysis of conflicting claims, the power to render sound judgments based upon appreciation of differing perspectives, and the ability to express and defend their own views with force and imagination. With these skills mastered, students will be prepared for a variety of professional careers, including law, medicine, teaching and the ministry. For instance, medical school applications now ask about critical thinking skills, the focus of philosophy. Wilkes offers unusual courses such as Philosophy of Nonviolence, Moral Psychology, and Advanced Topics in Bioethics that offer perspective for majors in political science, psychology and other majors that require interaction with people. Buddhist thought classes are useful to psychology majors. The bachelor of arts degree in philosophy affords students the freedom to pursue coursework in other subjects that pique their interest. Students will be able to add a minor, double major, or both. This flexibility also allows students the chance to design their major. Philosophy is a discipline that naturally and easily combines with other majors to give students the most comprehensive training possible.
