BA in Philosophy - Ethics, Law, and Social-Political Philosophy in Omaha United States | University of Nebraska Omaha

Philosophy explores the world in the most comprehensive and unified manner possible. Philosophers seek answers to fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, morality, divinity, and how these elements interconnect. A key benefit of studying philosophy lies in its methodological approach—rigorous reasoning, logical precision, and deep conceptual analysis—which can be applied universally. The Philosophy major offers three pathways: (1) the traditional track covering core disciplines like metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and philosophical history; (2) the Brain and Mind concentration, ideal for students interested in psychology, neuroscience, cognition, or AI; and (3) the Ethics, Law, and Social/Political Philosophy concentration, tailored for those pursuing advanced studies in law, criminal justice, sustainability, or related fields. The ethics-focused concentration requires 33 credit hours, including 27 in philosophy (with 21 at upper-level courses).
