A well developed philosophy statement is one that demonstrates thoughtful reflection. It should not be exclusively based on your experiences as a student, but a combination of experiences, curricular, co-curricular, and personal. Before you begin writing your philosophy statement, you should spend some time thinking about the questions below. You do not have to address these questions in your statement; they are only here to help you reflect.
