Join the Extended Plus International Pathway Program in Philosophy at the University of Hartford. Enhance your English skills & prepare for a rewarding career!
Program Description Philosophy promotes clear, systematic thinking that can benefit any profession. Ethically, it emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's views and of carrying on respectful dialogue with others. Most importantly, it helps satisfy the human need for understanding and the constructive use of intelligence and imagination. UHart's philosophy program is excellent preparation for a career in business, education, law, public service, management, and medicine, or for graduate school. Students gain extensive training in logic, critical analysis, and creative problem solving, while having the flexibility to customize independent study courses based on their own interests and career goals. Learning Outcomes: Students will exhibit knowledge of major figures, issues, and concepts in the history of philosophy and in its current state. Students will exhibit the ability to conduct inquiry through (a) reading both empathically and critically; (b) reasoning and argumentation; and (c) research conducted with appropriate use of textual, visual, online, and/or experiential resources. Students will communicate effectively in speaking and in writing. Students will exhibit growth in attitudes conducive to effective citizenship in a pluralistic democracy, including intellectual curiosity, appreciation of the complexity of philosophical issues, and desire to contribute to their communities. International Pathway Program Students should be advised that this is the Extended Plus 4-Semester Pathway option for this program. This pathway includes one or more semesters of Pre-Sessional English (dependent upon student proficiency level and progression in English courses) plus 3 semesters of Extended International Pathway. The International Pathway Program (IPP) is open to students who need to strengthen their English skills before studying a degree program in the USA. The IPP offers undergraduate students the additional support needed for their first year of university study. Students’ academic, social and personal success are ensured while in the program as they prepare to continue on to their degree. Each semester students will take a combination of Hartford academic courses (credited) and English courses (non-credit). Course options are dependent upon the required pathway. Once students have reached the required English level, they can progress to their program at the University of Hartford.
