If you have ever pondered, "Why am I here?" or "What is the meaning of life?" then you have already thought about philosophy. Philosophy poses questions about human endeavors and examines our basic assumptions about everything we think we know. It takes on challenging issues that sometimes defy resolution and trains the brain to think in a rigorous and analytic way about all the possible answers and what's at stake. Philosophy is not just a subject matter but a way of thinking.

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Bachelor's Degree)

  • Full-scope undergraduate and graduate curricula in philosophy and religion — design autonomously, sequencing courses to build students' critical thinking and analytical reasoning across a degree program.
  • Non-routine student performance challenges, including academic integrity cases — evaluate and resolve independently, applying institutional policy and professional judgment in postsecondary settings.
  • Advanced graduate seminars on specialized topics such as philosophy of mind, comparative religion, or applied ethics — prepare and lead, synthesizing cross-disciplinary scholarship at the highest academic level.
  • Book-length scholarly works and peer-reviewed journal articles — research, write, and revise for publication, contributing original arguments to the academic literature in philosophy or theology.
  • Oral presentations and keynote addresses at professional conferences — deliver with clarity and authority, representing the institution's scholarly voice to national and international audiences.
  • Complex philosophical and theological problems spanning multiple knowledge domains — analyze using deductive and inductive reasoning, drawing on history, law, sociology, and anthropology.
  • Comprehensive examination processes for graduate students — design, administer, and evaluate, ensuring alignment with program competencies and accreditation standards.
  • Mentorship relationships with doctoral candidates and junior faculty — conduct through regular feedback, manuscript review, and professional development coaching in academic department environments.
  • Institutional learning assessment data — interpret and use to evaluate course and program effectiveness, recommending evidence-based curricular improvements to departmental governance bodies.
  • Emerging digital research tools, OCR scanning software, and scholarly databases — integrate into research and teaching workflows to enhance access to primary sources and archival materials.
