Bachelors in Philosophy

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Ursinus College

Program Overview

Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder. Philo, meaning "love of," and sophia, meaning "wisdom," combine to form philosophy---the love of wisdom. The American philosopher William James said that philosophy is "nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly." Philosophy and religious studies students at Ursinus read Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant; they encounter Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. At Ursinus, philosophy and religious studies students learn to think more clearly and deeply, to sharpen their writing so that it is direct and persuasive, to comprehend and analyze texts, and to carefully defend positions in conversation with others.
