Academics
University of Massachusetts Boston Department of Philosophy

Philosophy Department

Philosophy investigates the nature of reality, knowledge, thought, reasoning, morality, justice, and related topics through precise, critical examination. The study of philosophy offers valuable training in rhetorical skills and critical thinking through lively discussion of the biggest questions you can imagine.  We invite you to join the undergraduate Philosophy Club for Friday afternoon debates, dip into philosophy through one or several courses, and minor in Philosophy and Law or major in one of our three B.A. programs.
