The School of Philosophy at USC College offers a comprehensive education that explores most areas within the discipline: philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, philosophy of science, political philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, the history of philosophy, phenomenology and existentialism.
The school offers a B.A. in philosophy, a philosophy major with an emphasis in ethics, law and value theory, and a combined B.A. in linguistics and philosophy. An honors program is also available, in addition to minors in philosophy and theories of art.
The major in philosophy is designed to acquaint students with the fundamental problems of Western thought, and to introduce them to the concepts and techniques necessary for independent philosophical thinking. It also aims to provide a greater understanding of the natural and social sciences, and literature and the arts.
The beautiful Hoose Library of Philosophy maintains an impressive collection of traditional and electronic media to support research efforts. The undergraduate Philosophy Club enables students to meet, share knowledge and discuss topics outside the classroom. Weekly lecture events are hosted by the department in which leading philosophical scholars from around the nation present their research and theories.
