Information for Prospective Students
The Philosophy
Department welcomes majors, minors, double majors and self-designed majors, and
is experienced in helping students integrate Philosophy with work in other
disciplines.
The department
fosters an active student-faculty intellectual community. We hold monthly
"philosophy coffees" where students and faculty discuss topics of
philosophical interest to the students informally. The department
sponsors a colloquium series of nationally and internationally known
philosophers who interact with students and faculty. The department also
supports the entire student-run undergraduate philosophy journal Episteme.
A Major in Philosophy
requires ten courses. A minor in Philosophy requires five courses in the
department.
