At the bottom of the page, you will find an index of other information available about the department. Our goal is to give our students a well-rounded education in philosophy that fits the needs of each student. We can help undergraduates prepare for graduate study in many fields, or we can help them prepare for a career where good reasoning and communication skills are required. We can help graduate students to prepare for further education in philosophy at the Ph.D. level, and we can provide philosophical training for those who were not Philosophy majors as undergrduates. To fulfill these goals, we offer a Master of Arts degree program and two Bachelor of Arts degree programs.
