“I think many people confuse philosophy with a type of meaningless rhetoric, or even discussions that lead to no answers. For me, however, I realized that by studying the history of philosophy, I was really studying the evolution of human thought. And in the process of carefully dissecting human thought, my own critical thinking and writing skills were developed and sharpened. This has been invaluable to me in the business world. I would recommend philosophy to anyone who wants a better balanced analytical mind for the business world.”
—Shannon Kinney (’02)

“My Philosophy degree from Nebraska Wesleyan was what enabled me to gain admittance to a graduate program with an excellent Center for Bioethics. The program has a strong emphasis in the Philosophy of Science, in addition to a tradition in Feminist Philosophy. My undergraduate work in the Philosophy department at Wesleyan prepared me for graduate level reading and writing and gave me experience in the seminar-style courses required in graduate school. My solid background in the history of Philosophy, logic and ethics has made the transition into graduate school much easier. My excellent undergraduate degree in Philosophy set me well on my way to both a PhD. in Philosophy, as well as a career in medical ethics.”
—Britt Johnson ('01), graduate student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.

“Global Service Learning has been the main socializing agent in my college career and my life, for that matter. I have grown intellectually and spiritually more in the three years of being involved with GSL than I could have ever thought possible. I will take what I have learned and been challenged by into my life to teach and challenge others.”
—Mike Mobley, ('03), personal banker, U.S. Bank.

“Studying religion at Nebraska Wesleyan was one of the best decisions I ever made. As I continue to prepare for ministry, I am regularly made aware of the quality of the education I received at Nebraska Wesleyan. I received the tools I needed as I prepared for parish ministry at Nebraska Wesleyan, but more importantly, I received the tools needed to be a leader in a religiously diverse world.”
—Jeff Clinger (‘02), seminary student at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Northwestern University
