The University of West Georgia’s Philosophy Program is home to researchers and educators who believe that the unexamined life is not worth living.

Imagine investigating vital topics--such as morality, race, gender, law, the meaning of life, and the nature of human existence--in small, discussion-oriented classes led by passionate and supportive professors, and alongside other students who are committed to the pursuit of truth and wisdom.

Studying philosophy helps students develop the critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills valued by a wide variety of employers, as well imparting creative problem-solving abilities, self-knowledge, and curiosity that continue to enhance students’ lives long after they’ve graduated.

Philosophy faculty are committed to our students’ intellectual development and success and to creating a diverse and inclusive learning environment. We welcome you to our program!
