Philosophy
Let your love of wisdom guide you towards an Associate of Arts transfer degree in Philosophy.
At ACC, we offer an Associate of Arts degree in Philosophy that will let you transfer into a philosophy program at 4-year Colorado institutions. With your next step into various career options including business, management, law, government, journalism and education, just to name a few. We offer classes in ethics, logic, religions and religious beliefs from around the world, and you can even take classes where you choose a topic of interest to pursue in-depth. Studying philosophy will allow you to share ideas and learn from different perspectives. It teaches you how to think, rather than what to think, and for that reason philosophy will help prepare you for any field you wish to pursue.
What You'll Learn
The study of philosophy will teach you how to think analytically and creatively. Upon completion of your AA, you’ll be able to:
- Use the techniques of formal and informal logical analysis.
- Explain why a philosophical problem is significant and describe attempts to solve it.
- Read and interpret primary and secondary philosophical sources.
- Reconstruct and critically evaluate philosophical arguments in written form.
ACC academic plans will help guide you through your chosen program. The academic plan will provide you with important information, like which semesters courses are offered if there are any prerequisites or co-requisites for courses, program outcomes, course sequence recommendations, notes for the program, graduation requirements, and other important information. These are updated annually, so we recommend downloading a copy of yours to keep on track to graduation.
