The Integrated Accelerator Program is a two-semester program designed specifically for high-achieving, bilingual international students who want direct enrolment into their degree program but also want the academic, cultural, professional, and linguistic support they need to thrive at Auburn University. The program features a robust advising and mentorship component, as well as priority access to the most exclusive, in-demand courses. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits. The study of philosophy is excellent preparation for graduate study, professional school, seminary, and any career path in which clear thought and expression are valued. It cultivates skill in clear thinking and writing, in logical criticism, and it increases the power and discipline of the imagination. But more importantly, the study of philosophy is of intrinsic value. Philosophy deepens and intensifies engagement with fundamental questions regarding the self, others and the world that arise in everyday life. The Philosophy Department at Auburn pursues the study of philosophy both historically and analytically, exposing students to the great philosophers and philosophies of the past and of the present. The Department teaches high standards of reading and writing and conversation. It expects students to become adept at criticizing the view of others and their own views. Relevant lessons are taught in the classroom, in informal discussion, in colloquia and in the Philosophy Club. The Department sees its faculty and students as philosophers working together to become better philosophers.
