About the Area of Study
Philosophy is a discipline that deals with all learning exclusive of technical precepts and the practical arts. Courses include study in areas such as logic, ethics, religious thought, and issues with technology, business, and medicine. If you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, you may complete your first two years of coursework at Lake Michigan College. All Philosophy courses are transferable to other institutions in Michigan and elsewhere. Well-prepared Philosophy majors have done well consistently in the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT). You may complete the requirements for an Associate in Arts degree. Competency in a foreign language is not a degree requirement. However, Philosophy majors are strongly urged to complete at least two semesters of French, German, or Spanish. As a Philosophy major, you should seek a broad-based education through careful selection of courses. Consult the faculty advisor for specific guidance.
Transfer Opportunities
If you are planning to transfer to a four-year college, you should become familiar with your chosen school’s requirements. See your advisor for assistance in planning your individualized program of study.
