Philosophy Major
Philosophy Major with a Pre-Law Emphasis
Philosophy Minor

The Philosophy Department offers a 36-credit B.A. degree program.  The program is designed to provide a solid foundation for various professions in business, government, and professional schools (such as law), as well as an excellent background for the further study of philosophy. The department makes special provisions for students who have chosen the major as preparation for entry into law school. These students should follow a path slightly different from that of traditional majors, as indicated below. The Philosophy Department always has many majors who are transfer students.  Students should be sure to see a departmental advisor to make the necessary adjustments for their progress through the major.
