The Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Studies in Philosophy & Literature offers an innovative combination of two disciplines whose chief concern is the human quest for meaning and purpose. Through encounters with great literary and philosophical works, we strengthen your capacity for ethical and reflective thought, allowing you to refine your own thinking in light of the record of human intellectual and creative expression. The integrated curriculum of philosophy and literature fosters an appreciation of language and the art of thoughtful questioning. Both are central capacities without which meaning eludes us.
