Overview

This emphasis on making philosophy relevant to our experience sets our program apart from many others, and it is a reason why our students are so successful at connecting what they learn to their personal and professional lives.

The Philosophy Department at Salisbury University is a vibrant, intellectually diverse department where you are sure to feel at home. We pride ourselves on developing a strong sense of community with our students, faculty and staff. At the Philosophy House, students come to discuss, study, watch films and play ping-pong. The student Philosophical Society is one of the most active groups on campus and sponsors regular discussions on such diverse topics as “Is there such a thing as human nature?”; “Is killing ever morally justified?”; and “What makes a joke funny?”

You won’t be lost in the crowd in the Philosophy Department – you will know your teachers and they will know you. SU philosophy professors are committed to providing help outside of class, advising students about courses and requirements, and mentoring students as they think about their lives after graduation.
