Philosophy aims at critical evaluation of our belief, knowledge and attitude. We foster personal and professional success through the development of critical thinking, effective communication, and creativity. Our mission is to enable students to grow, thrive and prosper. We are dedicated to provide opportunities and support for them from diverse backgrounds.
Philosophy examines the relationship between individual and society. It enhances our ability to solve problems and persuasive powers. As Philosophy touches many subjects, it can be applied in any endeavor. Those who study Philosophy have skill necessary for academic and nonacademic jobs. We assist students to become well-informed global citizens with the capacity to negotiate in a rapidly changing and complex world. We support the career and personal development of our students with an effective, supportive, safe and affordable learning environment using modern technology.
