What will I learn?

Study the great minds of philosophical thought, from Plato to Nietzsche. Delve into the ethical questions behind cyberspace and artificial intelligence. Realize your own philosophies surrounding reasoning, risk and rationality. Whether you are more inclined towards math, writing, poetry, politics, ethics, or justice, there is certain to be an area of philosophy that will pique your interest.Arts honors is designed to foster a tight-knit community of academic-minded undergraduate students who can come together to share ideas, work collaboratively, get mentorship from their upper-year peers, and access more specialized supports from their department and faculty teams at every stage of their studies.Taking part in an honors program is the best way to dip your toe into the research process, develop connections with professors and other academics in your field, and get a taste of what graduate school may have in store for you while completing your undergraduate degree.
