Our philosophy department features faculty with diverse specialties and philosophical viewpoints.
Students can pursue a BA in philosophy along with four minor options and six cluster programs. The undergraduate curriculum focuses on Western philosophical traditions, both classical and modern, with special attention to contemporary Anglo-American thought. These courses lay a strong groundwork for advanced studies in law, cognitive science, and philosophy.
Combining a philosophy major with political science, economics, or natural sciences like biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and psychology enhances career prospects.
Internship opportunities allow students to apply philosophical training in professional environments while exploring potential career paths.
Career Prospects
Philosophy cultivates analytical abilities that serve as ideal preparation for legal studies, graduate philosophy programs, and various professional endeavors. Ethics coursework proves particularly valuable for medical and business students facing ethical dilemmas in their future careers.
Specializing in logic while complementing studies with mathematics courses provides excellent preparation for computer science and technical fields.
