Philosophy

As Mary Baker Eddy wrote, “The time for thinkers has come.” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. vii). Never has there been a greater need for critical thinkers, out-of-the-box ideas, and open-minded consideration.

Through rigorous training in formal and informal logic, communication, and ethics, Principia philosophy majors hone their ability to clearly articulate complex ideas and become flexible thinkers who can adapt to a rapidly changing world.
