The philosophy faculty is a diverse group of educators, each with a different background and philosophical focus in their own studies and in their teaching style. This makes for a broad education in philosophy, giving students a chance to explore many facets of philosophy from different perspectives. Our professors are also mentors and get to know students individually. Faculty advisors assist students with everything from course selection to exploring their career opportunities.
