Additional Information From UNC Wilmington:

The University of North Carolina Wilmington strongly recommends students complete their Associates’ degree prior to transferring to UNCW.

The Philosophy and Religion Department fosters critical thinking skills in our students. We help students learn how to think without teaching them what to think. We encourage an appreciation of the cross-cultural human experience in the past and present. We train students to think critically about contemporary issues and problems. UNCW PAR graduates have some of the highest scores out of all university majors on pre-graduate exams like the GRE, MCAT, and the LSAT. We prepare our students to work within a diverse and international society. Many of our students study abroad and apply what they've learned to real-world events and circumstances.

Courses in philosophy introduce students to the philosophical tradition and develop their skills of critical thinking and expression. In our examination of the history of philosophy, attention is given to ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, logic, aesthetics, bioethics, philosophy of science, and social and political philosophy with emphasis on their possible application.

An overall grade point average of “C” (2.00) or better is required in courses counted toward the major. In accordance with UNCW residency requirement, at least 15 hours at the 300-400 level must be taken at UNCW.
