Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Philosophy

University of Illinois Chicago

The Philosophy Department at UIC is among the best in the country many of its members have strong national and international reputations. The classes we offer are typically reasonably small, which allows students greater direct contact with teachers than is usual for a large university. The Department at UIC has established a reputation for being personally diverse, approachable, and friendly. In additional to formal classes, students have opportunities of several kinds for informal interaction with each other and with faculty. We offer a series of Open Houses and the Vicious Circle (presentation/discussions of live issues led by Department members) especially for undergrads. Departmental Colloquia and Reading Groups are normally attended by grad students and faculty. Grad students and faculty are also active members of several groups/programs (Regional Colloquia) for the study of specialized areas.
