BA in Philosophy in Philadelphia United States | University of Pennsylvania

Philosophy offers a structured approach to formulating and addressing profound questions about human existence. It explores core dimensions of reality (metaphysics), our understanding and connection to it (epistemology, philosophy of mind), and our identity as thinking, goal-oriented social creatures (ethics, political philosophy). Engaging with philosophy fosters an understanding of how this field has evolved, its current approaches, and potential future directions. Additionally, it serves as a reflective lens for examining other academic domains like science, arts, and humanities. The Philosophy Major features four specialized tracks: General Philosophy (32 credits), Humanistic Philosophy (36 credits), Philosophy and Science (36 credits), and Political and Moral Philosophy (36 credits). A 6-credit minor option is also available. Each concentration and the minor include both Distribution and Level Requirements. Detailed requirement information can be accessed here (pdf).
