Philosophy, BA

The B.A. in Philosophy provides you with strong background in the history of philosophy, logic, critical reasoning and helps shape how you present a rigorous argument. You will also have the opportunity to broaden your perspective on contemporary issues through electives in philosophy of law, religion, science, bioethics, political philosophy, non-Western philosophy and many other topics. Given the interdisciplinary nature of philosophy, students often combine a B.A. in Philosophy with a second major. Popular double majors combine philosophy and either psychology, English, political science or the natural sciences.
