Department of Philosophy Overview

The Department of Philosophy offers strong major and minor programs. We offer a wide variety of courses that develop students' abilities to analyze arguments, to read closely, to write precisely, and to approach profound questions creatively. Philosophy majors enjoy many opportunities to work with faculty members who are both active scholars and skillful teachers. Many of our majors go on to graduate study, especially in law and humanities disciplines.

Philosophy majors develop fruitful careers in many fields, including business, health care, law, religious vocation, social services and teaching.
