About Us

Philosophy is a skill, practice, and set of tools for reflecting about our thinking and building awareness of the ignorances and injustices that shape our world. Our faculty bring curiosity, plurality, and precision to these reflections, supporting students in building analytic skills with applications across the disciplines and professions. 

As a philosophy student, you will be able to personalize your education and career goals through a supportive relationship with your faculty advisor within the department. You will also be encouraged to step out of your comfort zone and take classes across the liberal arts that pique your interest, study abroad, or join a student organization on campus. Our faculty frequently support students through in-depth research projects, off-campus internships, and on-campus advocacy work.
