Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy

As a philosophy major or minor, you will get to choose from a variety of classes taught by excellent professors. Classes are taught in several formats — seminar, interactive, and single philosopher. In interactive classes you will engage in discussions with other students and the professor. In seminars, you will address topics of interest with other philosophy majors or minors. And in single philosopher classes, you will take an in-depth approach to studying one philosopher. You will be assigned a faculty adviser who will help you pick the classes that interest you, and make sure you meet all the major requirements. If you’re interested in a graduate or professional degree, you will also meet with a pre-health, pre-law or graduate school adviser. Funded research grants are available for students who wish to further personalize their study. Conducting a research project with a faculty member is a great learning experience to have before graduation, especially if you are considering graduate school.
