Philosophy at Collin

Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.

To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.

Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor's degree at the transfer institution.

Before there was the scientific method, there was philosophy. Literally the "love of wisdom," philosophy seeks to explain the world through examination. The study of philosophy is foundational if you are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge.

When you study philosophy at Collin College, you will become acquainted with the main problems of philosophy, examining those problems from multiple perspectives, so that a greater truth can be determined. You will come away with a greater understanding of philosophical thinking and a better understanding of the people around you.
