Bachelor of Science in Ontological Science (B.S.O.S.)
About the Program
The Bachelor of Science in Ontological Science offers students a profound exploration of the structure of existence, cognitive reality, and the mechanisms of consciousness. This undergraduate program is tailored for individuals eager to delve into the nature of self-awareness, thought formation, and the philosophical underpinnings of cognition.
Program Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Ontological Science provides a comprehensive educational foundation in understanding and analyzing the fundamental aspects of ontology — the study of being and existence. Students will engage in rigorous conceptual modeling, philosophical analysis, and the development of structured cognitive frameworks to better comprehend how reality and consciousness are intertwined.
This program emphasizes the critical and systematic examination of the bases of knowledge and reality, exploring topics from the microstructures of consciousness to the macro-dynamics of the universe. Through a blend of theoretical coursework and practical inquiry, students will gain the tools necessary for deep philosophical and ontological investigation.
Key Areas of Study
- Foundations of Ontological Theory
- Cognitive Reality and Consciousness Studies
- Philosophical Foundations of Cognition
- Conceptual Modeling and Structured Cognitive Frameworks
- Advanced Philosophical Analysis
