Philosophy
UWG Philosophy Program
The traditional definition of philosophy is the search for wisdom. Contemporary philosophers have a difficult time agreeing on a definition of philosophy, but many think of it as an inquiry into the most fundamental questions facing human beings. Those questions touch on such important topics as God, the nature of human existence, reality, knowledge, and right and wrong. Philosophy seeks to replace opinion about these topics with knowledge.

Diplomat, Educator, Lawyer, Literary Critic, Technical Writer and Theologian are a few of the more obvious career choices.
