Philosophy Major and Minor Programs

Applied Philosophy Minor - Students may design an Applied Philosophy Minor with courses that directly relate to the major area of study. A pre-law student, for example, could include courses in logic, contemporary moral problems, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of law. Business majors could include ethical theory, business and professional ethics, decision theory, and social and political philosophy.

Activities and Awards

The Philosophy Circle is a registered student organization for undergraduates (of any major) with an interest in philosophy. The "Circle" meets throughout the fall and spring semesters to present guest speakers, host discussions, and organize reading groups. In addition to its regular meetings, the Circle hosts an annual undergraduate conference each spring that coincides with the Midsouth Philosophy Conference.



Philosophy majors are eligible to receive the Carroll R. Bowman Scholarship, awarded each year in memory of the late Professor Bowman. Also, each spring the department also presents the Outstanding Senior Award to a graduating senior in philosophy.
