STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The Department of Philosophy at Cal State Long Beach is the primary agency of the university with respect to providing quality instruction in logic, critical reasoning, and ethics.

Philosophical training is intrinsically valuable, and an essential component of any University. It is also extrinsically valuable, teaching students the skills they need to develop, establish, reconstruct, and evaluate arguments in any field or endeavor. Philosophical training also helps students seek general explanatory principles, reflect upon what really matters, look for alternatives to widely-accepted views, and learn to distinguish what is significant from what is not. Philosophy students are expected to express their ideas and arguments in written form, and learn to improve their analytical writing skills. Philosophical discussions in the classroom are expected to foster listening and speaking skills and to provide practice at exploring, defending, and constructively criticizing ideas and claims with others. Students also become familiar with some of the major figures and schools of thought in the intellectual tradition, and develop an appetite for further study and learning.
