Graduate Certificate in History of Philosophy

The Graduate Certificate in History of Philosophy is intended to provide students with the opportunity to engage with the broad range of philosophical thought, arguments, and ideas as they have been formed and debated within a community of those who love wisdom over a period of more than two thousand years. This degree will take you from the beginnings of Western thought in Ancient philosophy, all the way through the medieval and modern periods, so that you can then grapple with contemporary philosophical issues. Graduates of this program will have acquired knowledge of the history of philosophy, skills in argument, critical and conceptual analysis, and will have formed the capacity to engage in philosophical reflection.
