"From the moment I stepped onto campus, every professor, staff member, and student I encountered treated me with such genuine warmth and respect, as if I were already a valued member of their community. Despite not having officially joined the EIU family, I immediately felt a deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere was one of comfort and inclusivity, where everyone seemed genuinely invested in my success and well-being."Abbey McCordPhilosophy | Class of 2025
Philosophy focuses on the systematic study of questions about knowledge, values, ethics and existence, using conceptual analysis and logic. It is a fit if you love asking why, enjoy debate and want to learn to think both creatively and critically.
