"Philosophy
at Butler University is a great experience. The department is broad
enough to house specialists in the major fields, and at the same
time small enough to provide an intimate learning environment for
students. The skills I developed studying philosophy at
Butler-especially clear thinking, writing, and speaking-have,
without question, contributed significantly to the success of my
post-graduate endeavors. Close relationships with department
faculty gave me considerable support both during my study at Butler
and as I made plans for life after graduation. On a personal level,
studying philosophy at Butler had revolutionary effects on my
perspectives. The unexamined became complex and exciting. I also
made lasting friends through the department's small, seminar style
classes and through meetings of the philosophy club. I short,
studying philosophy at Butler is an experience I would highly
recommend."
