The Philosophy Department at OU provides a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, an undergraduate minor option, and graduate programs culminating in either a terminal Master's degree (thesis or non-thesis track) or a Doctorate. Our distinguished faculty possess expertise across philosophy's core disciplines, with specialized focus areas including logic, metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics and art philosophy, philosophy of science, language philosophy, mind philosophy, religion philosophy, Chinese philosophical traditions, and the history of both ancient and modern philosophy. Beyond classroom learning, the department fosters a vibrant intellectual community that encourages meaningful faculty-student engagement outside formal academic settings.
