Additional Information

The program aims at the acquisition of a broad background in philosophy. It is designed for those preparing for further graduate study or community college teaching, and for self-enrichment. Although the department is analytically oriented, it is also pluralistic - encouraging work, for example, in continental European philosophy, feminist philosophy, trans philosophy. The department includes faculty members with diverse backgrounds and interests actively working in a wide range of philosophical specialties. Classes and seminars are small with a friendly, informal atmosphere that facilitates student-faculty interaction. Philosophy students edit a journal, Philosophy in Practice, which publishes student essays. For recent placements see https://www.calstatela.edu/dept/phil/placementrecord.php
