The standard undergraduate philosophy program (24-1) aims to cultivate historical and contemporary knowledge of core issues in epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, develop technical skills necessary for advanced philosophical research, foster independent philosophical thinking, and encourage specialized study in a related discipline.
