The Major and Minor in Philosophy
Philosophy is a flexible degree that easily pairs with other programs (double majors, interdisciplinary minors, honors program, etc.). We offer a B.S. degree in philosophy, with pathways that prepare students for degrees in law, non-profit work, graduate school, and more.
The philosophy major requires 33 degree hours in philosophy, in addition to standard lower division and upper division UCA Core requirements. The philosophy minor requires 18 hours. The structure of the program includes many electives, which allows students to tailor their education to their own interests and career goals.
