Description

The Marymount California University BA in Multidisciplinary Studies (MDS) enables students to design a program tailored to the demands of a number of careers and graduate programs. MDS majors work with an advisor to select courses and combine at least two areas of emphasis from the following: Arts, Biology, Business, Chemistry, Criminal Justice, Computer Science, Digital Communication, Human Performance, Philosophy, and Psychology. MDS students develop core competencies and the specialized knowledge and skills related to each specific emphasis, culminating in a senior research project or career-related internships or practica. 

Philosophy (24 units – at least 8 upper division)
The Philosophy emphasis fosters reflection on the eternal human questions about reality, life and meaning to support personal decision making. Students explore diverse answers to these questions, learning to articulate an empathetic understanding of the belief/value systems of others, analyze the logical consistency of arguments, identify underlying assumptions, and so in respectful dialogue with others arrive at personal answers to these questions.
