Looking Ahead
Ask the Big Questions with Us
Providing thought-provoking classes that stretch the imagination and challenge the intellect is at the core of Webster University’s Department of Philosophy mission and vision. With us, “why” questions are always welcome and vibrant; respectful conversations are the norm.
Explore below to learn more about our programming, which is a popular academic choice at our University because having a philosophical background helps our students communicate more effectively in their current (or future) professional roles.
Moving to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences
When the College of Arts and Sciences branches into two new innovative and collaborative colleges this June, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) will house Webster’s core humanities and social science programs and provide students and faculty members with greater opportunities to collaborate.
Center for Ethics
Our Center for Ethics' mission is to stimulate dialogue, encourage awareness, and promote critical thinking about ethical issues. We aim to inspire reflection about ethical dilemmas and help bring together people generally separated by disciplinary boundaries.
We serve as a collaboration resource within the University and throughout the broader community, urging participants to identify their responsibilities as global citizens.
