Bachelors in Philosophy

Philosophy asks questions about fundamental features of the world, of human life, and of the ways we think about them. Such questions include the nature of truth and limits of human knowledge; what makes an action right or just; what is to be a person and have a mind; and what makes something a work of art. In studying philosophy, you will have the opportunity to grapple with these questions yourself, and in conversation with peers, faculty members, philosophical traditions, and contemporary philosophers. Our majors cultivate the skills of analytical problem-solving and rhetorical sophistication, valued in a range of careers.
