Philosophy B.A.

The philosophy program provides an environment in which students receive rich, well-rounded instruction in philosophy, whose pursuit is essential to a liberal arts education.

Program Student Learning Outcomes
UMM's philosophy curriculum offers coursework in all major subfields of philosophy including the history of philosophy, metaphysics and logic, epistemology, and values. In addition to a standard philosophy major, we also offer tracks in "Legal Studies," "Computer and Data Studies," and "Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE)." As a field of study, philosophy is at the core of a liberal arts education, as its skills encourage independent thought and interdisciplinary, integrated inquiry. Specifically, UMM's philosophy program offers students the opportunity to:
- Explore philosophy's fundamental questions and proposed answers.
- Cultivate their own philosophical powers, which include creativity, sensitivity, intellectual courage, open-mindedness and critical-mindedness, logical rigor, and analytical precision.
- Join the great conversation by contributing their own considered insights.
- Hone their ability to speak and write effectively.
