UNCG Significantly Expands Online Course Offerings in Philosophy
GREENSBORO, N.C. (PRWEB) May 09, 2012
Today UNCG announced it has significantly expanded its online undergraduate course offerings in philosophy. As a result, students now have ready, online access to the classes they need, whether they are pursuing a philosophy major, meeting general education requirements or fulfilling the philosophy component of another degree.
The expanded curriculum will be offered year-round and positions UNCG as a leader in online learning. Accredited online courses in philosophy are rare, both in North Carolina and across the nation.
We feel it is important to offer choices, says Gary Rosenkrantz, professor and department head. A student pursuing an online business degree can complete a required business ethics course without having to visit campus. A student traveling home for a summer job can take a philosophy course online and be a step ahead on general education requirements when returning to school in the fall. A philosophy major can complete courses the department requires for a Bachelors degree online. Were helping students earn an education on their own terms and on their own schedule.
Students earning a philosophy degree develop skills in logical, critical and analytical thinking, moral reasoning and ethical awareness, establishing a solid foundation for professional careers in law, government, health, education, media and more.
