Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy

Program Overview

The study of Philosophy enables students to explore critically various systems of beliefs and values, to grapple with the foundations of their own beliefs and values, to develop habits of critical thinking, writing, and reading, and to use these skills to address real world problems. Students completing a major in Philosophy have the option of pursuing an emphasis in one of three areas: Ethics & Moral Reasoning; Law, Justice, & Social Policy; and Mind & World.

The Department hosts a chapter of the Phi Sigma Tau International Honors Society in Philosophy. Through its association with the Kegley Institute of Ethics, the department offers students the op-portunity to engage with major public issues of the day. The annual CSUB Philosophy & Religious Studies Undergraduate Conference provides a forum for the presentation of work by undergradu-ates from CSUB and other universities in all areas of philosophical and religious studies
