Majors and minors receive a comprehensive introduction to the discipline by completing our Foundational Courses that acquaint students with important historical and topical issues in philosophy.

The latter center on systematic questions in epistemology, metaphysics, logic, ethics and the philosophy of religion.

Majors build upon these foundational courses by completing a specific concentration of their choosing: Political Theory; Law; Justice, Peace and Conflict; Language and Linguistics; or Philosophy and Religion.
