The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Philosophy, and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Philosophy, plus three concentrations. These different programs all cover basic core areas of philosophy that are essential to any good philosophy major, but they also allow students to pursue and showcase different areas of emphasis.
The B.S. in Philosophy with a Concentration in Logic, Representation and Reasoning provides excellent preparation for top graduate programs in Philosophy as well as for professional training in fields as diverse as law, library science, management and medicine. Although the major does not train students for a particular career, it develops skills that are useful for work in any field that requires critical, constructive and independent thinking.
