Welcome

River near Lake Winnebago. We offer a major and a minor in philosophy, and
we are proud of our high quality undergraduate program. Our majors and minors
are routinely accepted into the best graduate programs in the country, and
many go on to pursue careers in law, medicine, and business. We are equally
proud of the high quality scholarship produced by members of the department.
