The undergraduate Philosophy program aims to cultivate broadly educated individuals with foundational cultural knowledge, able to engage in clear, reasoned examination of life's essential questions while developing skills to assess public discourse critically. As a Catholic institution, Georgetown also encourages students to deeply contemplate faith-related challenges. Philosophical study supports these goals through its structured exploration of concepts, logical pursuit of truths, holistic worldview examination, and ethical principle investigation. Its analytical approaches apply to all areas of human inquiry and professional paths. We strive to provide majors and minors not merely with career tools, but with vital capacities for daily self-reflection and meaningful living.
