Philosophy
Franklin College of Arts and Sciences
Overview
The Philosophy major at the University of Georgia is designed to guide students in the systematic investigation of the nature of reality, knowledge, value, and obligation through study and assessment of major figures of western philosophical tradition.
Students take courses in logic, history, culture, language, and ethics to develop critical thinking and inquiry skills, evaluate basic assumptions, analyze concepts and experience, and construct and assess arguments. A major portfolio containing the student’s best written work and other requirements completes the degree.
Philosophy is traditionally a major for students interested in law and medical careers, but it is a desirable accompaniment for other careers in the sciences, business, communications, political science, education, and many other disciplines requiring advanced thought and comprehension of complex issues.
