Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Philosophy
As a Philosophy major at George Mason University, students will debate these enduring questions about human existence. They will examine how philosophers have answered them in the past and explore how those answers continue to inform our thinking in the present. Drawing on the expertise of philosophy professors at Mason, they will gain a deeper understanding of how the study of philosophy is relevant to key contemporary issues—such as global warming, social justice and the defense of human rights, or the relationship between science and religion.
