Degrees and Areas of Concentration
The philosophy department offers two options leading to the B.A. degree in philosophy. The first is for students intending to enter graduate school in philosophy, the second is for students seeking a general liberal arts education as their ultimate academic objective, or preparing for professional degrees such as law. Each option offers a balance between training in the techniques of logical analysis, study of philosophical classics, and examination of selected problems in philosophy. The department also offers a minor in philosophy for students wishing to pursue a particular interest in philosophy in an organized way.
