Philosophy is a traditional part of a university education.  As the principal discipline in which reasoned analysis of fundamental issues of meaning and value take place, courses in philosophy equip students for a wide range of opportunities in academia and beyond.  A background in philosophy is helpful for further studies in law, linguistics, computer science, or any of the humanities or social sciences.  Courses in ethics are particularly useful for careers in medicine, law, or business; while students in mass communications, prelaw, and medical or business fields will benefit from the study of logic.

 
The program in philosophy offers a wide range of courses covering fundamental philosophical questions, logic, and the history of philosophy.  These courses are of value to students in any major. We offer a master's degree, undergraduate major, and an undergraduate minor in philosophy.
