The Department of Philosophy offers courses of interest to students in a wide variety of fields, as well as courses to help students meet the requirements for the major and minor in philosophy. Courses in such areas as philosophy in law, philosophy of religion, social and political philosophy, theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, existentialism, health care ethics and philosophy of science, can serve to complement a variety of other fields of study.
Introductory courses in philosophy are available without prerequisite. Upper level undergraduate courses typically require, at most, one previous course in philosophy. For some specialized courses in philosophy your major in a relevant field may allow you to meet the prerequisite. See the complete course listings for information about prerequisites.
Nearly all undergraduate courses in Philosophy can help students earn GEC credit which is needed by all undergraduates, whatever their field of study. See the undergraduate catalog or the University’s current schedule of courses for details.
Philosophy course offerings vary from semester to semester. See our listings of current and upcoming fall and spring semester courses for more information.
