Principles of Philosophy introduces the basic questions philosophers ask about knowledge, reality, morality, religion, and human freedom. It also shows how to read arguments carefully, spot weak reasoning, and compare different ways of thinking about the same issue. In a course like this, you study both classic ideas and the methods used to examine them.
Principles of Philosophy is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. When you complete the course, the transcript can be sent for Columbia Southern University review, where it is recognized as Humanities and Fine Arts (Group A or B) and can satisfy a general-education requirement.
The course strengthens skills that matter in CSU programs such as Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science, especially careful reading, clear reasoning, and weighing different viewpoints. Those habits are useful in work and daily decision-making when you need to assess arguments, solve problems, or explain your position with evidence. At CSU, the credit applies in the Humanities and Fine Arts (Group A or B) area, so it supports degree progress while building those broader analytical skills.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent to Columbia Southern University for evaluation. CSU’s registrar applies the credit as Humanities and Fine Arts (Group A or B), which means it can count toward a general-education requirement in your degree plan rather than sitting as an unassigned elective. This is useful for students building progress in CSU programs such as Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science. Keep in mind that CSU allows up to 90 transfer credits, or 75% of a degree, so this course should be part of a larger transfer plan.
This course is a practical choice for students planning to transfer to Columbia Southern University and wanting a general-education course that fits the Humanities and Fine Arts (Group A or B) category. It can be a good fit if you are trying to stay within CSU’s transfer limit of up to 90 credits and want coursework that may help move an Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science plan forward. It is not the best fit if you only want highly technical major-credit coursework, since its transfer value at CSU is in general education rather than a specialized program area.
