PHILOSOPHY
PROFESSIONAL
WRITING
Philosophy critically examines
our most basic beliefs about
the world and our place in it.
Inquiry in philosophy grapples
with such basic questions as
“Can we be sure of our beliefs?”
“What are the grounds for
correct judgments?” “How
do we distinguish between
right and wrong?” “What is a
person?” “Are we free or causally
determined?” “Is there a God?”
Philosophy strives to develop
the ability to reason clearly, to
distinguish between good and
bad arguments, to navigate
through a complicated maze
of questions, to clarify puzzling
concepts, and to use intelligence
and logic in situations ruled all
too often by prejudices.
The Professional Writing (PW)
major prepares students to
become innovative, strategic,
and expressive writers and
designers who are able to work
with a wide range of documents
and digital environments and in
a variety of workplaces. The PW
program does more than just
provide students with a college
degree. We prepare students
to be lifelong learners who can
apply what they learn directly to
careers in digital and technical
writing, editing and publishing,
managing communications,
and writing for community and
nonprofit organizations.
