Ying Xu Program Description The programs in Philosophy are intended to provide students with principles of inquiry and evaluation relevant to many areas of human activity, such as science, law religion, education, government, and art; to develop in them skills of analysis, criticism, and synthesis needed for advanced work in many scholarly fields; and to acquaint them with noteworthy contributions by philosophers to intellectual traditions. Philosophy is an appropriate field of study for students hoping to attend law school. The Department offers an undergraduate major in Philosophy with any of two options: General and Prelaw; a minor in philosophy with General and Prelaw options, and an interdisciplinary minor in Classics.
