In the William H. Miller III Department of Philosophy, students are provided a broad and analytically rigorous philosophical education, with particular areas of strength in philosophy of mind and language, the history of philosophy, philosophy of science, moral psychology, metaphysics, and epistemology.
Scholarship by our world-renowned faculty addresses a wide range of topics in theoretical philosophy, value, and the history of philosophy.
The department prepares graduate students to make original contributions to the field and to pursue careers in college and university teaching.
The department offers a Major in Philosophy, a Minor in Philosophy, an accelerated BA/MA program, and collaborates with the Berman Institute of Bioethics to offer a Minor in Bioethics.
A recent study on over 600,000 college grads provides further evidence that studying philosophy makes you a better thinker. Read here for more.
