Bachelor of Arts - Philosophy - Ethics, Law and Politics

The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy degree from the University of Nevada, Reno broadly covers the discipline of philosophy, in both substance and methodology, developing students’ analytical and communicative abilities while attempting to understand the nature of reality and human experience. Students in this general track master foundational concepts in logic, history of philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology, and the philosophy of science.

Students navigate some of the deepest questions human beings have asked - questions about the basic character of reality, the limits of knowledge, the place of mind in nature, the best life for a person and the most decent society for all, among others. Students will not find easy answers, but they will think clearly about the options while honing analytical and imaginative skills that will prepare them for a host of exciting careers.
