Philosophy

WHY CHOOSE WWCC FOR PHILOSOPHY?

Philosophy asks vital questions about how we can improve our thinking and belief systems. At WWCC, you’ll compare how philosophers from different backgrounds have answered those questions throughout time. You’ll become a curious reader, a deep thinker and a strong writer. And you’ll find out how relevant Philosophy is to issues that matter today. When you graduate, you’ll be well prepared to take on the challenges of a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college.

Careers in Philosophy
