Edgar M. Llamas believes philosophy helps people to question and clarify their lives, and to think for themselves. The El Paso native said this program, with its conceptually open faculty, taught him to conduct independent research, which helped get him admitted to the philosophy Ph.D. program at the University of Oregon.
