The philosophy programme of the Dominican University was one of the take-off academic programmes of the new University. It however, inherited the legacy of the philosophy programme of the Dominican Institiute in affiliation with the Univesity of Ibadan (1994-2016).
The programme started on the 3rd of october, 2017 with 37 students and 7 member of staff and as at date, 2020/2021 academic session, the number of students had increased to 118 and the staff length is 13.
The programme is designed to provide a solid foundation for the thorough instruction in the traditional quadrivium of philosophy, Logic and Values, including Ethics and Aesthetics, Social and Political Philosophy.
The fundamental objective of the programme is to understand the human person in his or her complex nature, and in his or her multifaceted relationships with the world around and beyond. It is in this context that we try to investigate and explain those aspects of Man's nature that particularly concern or challenge him.
