The philosophy curriculum consists of courses
in the history of philosophy as well as such traditional areas as ethics,
metaphysics, epistemology, logic, the philosophy of language, and aesthetics.
Historically, the discipline of philosophy has been expansive in the scope of
its interests, exploring issues across the fields of natural science, social
science, literature, and the arts. In this spirit, students concentrating in
philosophy are encouraged to enrich their study of philosophy by making
connections with other disciplines.
