Philosophy
Socrates died in 347 B.C., but the examination of our lives is just as important and relevant today as it ever was. To be fully realized human beings, we still need to ask what our motivation is. To know how to live a good life, we still need to ask what living a good life means. If we want to vote, build a great marriage, or guide our kids to a safe and satisfying adulthood, we need some tools to help us think things through.
That’s where the Philosophy program at MCC comes in. From Socrates to Sartre, Confucius to Kant, you’ll study some of the greatest thinkers humanity has ever known. You’ll compare schools of philosophy and examine issues of morality, ethics, critical thinking, logic, and more. Our program will give you a robust foundation to ponder life’s deepest questions and the skills to apply them to your life. And since the study of philosophy teaches us to question assumptions, it provides a basis for all other academic study. It’s an excellent foundation for law school, business school, or graduate school in general.

Meet with an Advisor
Before signing up for classes, you’ll want to meet with an academic advisor. Together, you’ll lay out a program and career path that suits you best. This step is essential to your academic success, so don’t skip it, okay?
Advising for the Philosophy program is available through the Philosophy & Religious Studies department. You can also contact Advisement & Registration Services for general advising. Both will help you determine the exact courses you need to get the education you’re looking for.
