Philosophy and General Education

At Saint Mary's every student takes a three semester hour course designed for beginners in philosophy, Philosophy 110: Introduction to Philosophy. This course acquaints students with major issues and figures in philosophy and develops skills in critical thinking. A description of readings specific to each section of Philosophy 110 is available in the philosophy department office during registration.

Many students complete their introductory course to find they want another course in philosophy. Any second course in philosophy (numbered 200 or above) will fulfill one of the three required Area A courses. The philosophy department offers a wide range of courses, many of which are especially suited to those with interests in other fields.
