Philosophy

The Department of Classics, Philosophy and Religious Studies offers major and minor programs in philosophy and courses that support the College's General Education Program. Philosophy inquires into every aspect of knowledge and value. It is distinguished from other disciplines more by its critical and integrative approach than by a select subject matter. The philosophy curriculum is designed to accommodate students for whom philosophy is simply their choice of a liberal arts major, students who intend to study philosophy in graduate school, and students who study philosophy to complement their work in other disciplines.

Any 100 or 200 level course may be a student's first course in philosophy. Students who plan to take both History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy and History of Modern Philosophy should, if possible, take the former first.
