Welcome to the Department of Philosophy.
The aim of the major in philosophy is to provide students with a range of courses on perennial philosophical questions and contemporary issues. Historical courses, including both surveys and studies of individual philosophers are designed to introduce students to a variety of philosophical traditions. Principally, a philosophy major prepares students for graduate study in philosophy. Additionally, the various courses offered in logic, ethics in science, technology and business, and philosophy of law are especially relevant to those preparing for careers in the professions and in corporate business.
