Philosophical issues addressed in undergraduate courses include both traditional topics from areas such as epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of science, and also the most recent contemporary concerns. The techniques brought to bear on these issues are analytical, formal, and historical.

Students have the option of using their philosophy electives to major with an emphasis in law and ethics, history of philosophy, or logic and the philosophy of science. These tracks will not impact how your major is listed on your transcript.

A relevant course in an allied field may be substituted for a philosophy elective, with the permission of the philosophy department’s undergraduate advisor.
