Undergraduate Philosophy

The Department of Philosophy and Religion, which is a part of the College of Arts and Letters, offers undergraduates the opportunity to major or minor in Philosophy. Courses in these disciplines develop and hone skills in critical thinking and logic, while giving students a solid background in both the history of philosophy and contemporary philosophical debates, and thus introduce them to a variety of issues in ethical theory and applied ethics.

If you are new to philosophy and wish to get your feet wet in it, both as a subject of inquiry and as an academic discipline, go to:
