Philosophy

The Philosophy program offers a major and minor in philosophy, including a track with an applied ethics emphasis. We also offer a Cognitive Science major and minor along with many Liberal Education Program courses. Philosophy classes cover topics that include ethics, law, logic, cognitive science, religion, scientific methodology, existential literature and many others. Contact any of our faculty for additional information about any of our programs. The Philosophy program sponsors regular colloquia and informal philosophy discussion groups, and is also home to the Center for Ethics and Public Policy. The Socratic Society is an organization run by UMD students who are passionate about philosophy.
