The Department of Philosophy offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in philosophy, as well as a minor in philosophy and course offerings for non-majors and non-minors. The department also sponsors an interdisciplinary minor in Philosophy and Law, described below.

The program for majors is built around two aims. First, the major offers study of the methods, problems, and history of philosophy. Second, it exposes the student to analysis of contemporary moral issues and philosophical puzzles. Throughout the major goal is to teach students to present and analyze critically arguments, both orally and in writing. Graduates of the department have pursued such careers as teaching, law, medicine, counseling, and business.
