哲学 explores fundamental questions concerning all aspects of human life and experience, the conditions of knowledge, and the nature of reality. Serious exploration of such questions contributes to professional success by promoting critical thinking, 分析推理, 敏捷的智力, effective communication, and the ability to solve complex problems.

Our philosophy students have a wide array of opportunities for learning and networking beyond the classroom that give them an advantage to prepare for life after W&J. This includes membership in the Phi Sigma Tau national honor society, participation in undergraduate and professional philosophy conferences, opportunities to author pieces for undergraduate philosophy journals, and summer programs in philosophy through prestigious national universities. 2020年夏天, 例如, Jessica Wensus took part in the 暑期项目 for Women in 哲学 at the University of California San Diego and Kahdija Charpentier was a participant in the Summer Institute for 多样性 in 哲学 at Rutgers University.
W&J also provides unique programs that allow students to thrive in this field. Caitlyn布伦纳 利用了W&J的麦哲伦计划, which provided funding for her to spend the summer of 2019 in Africa studying the effects of implicit bias within the medical field. Caitlyn, a chemistry and philosophy double major, became interested in this topic after taking a bioethics class offered by the Department of 哲学.
