Overview

At the Philosophy (Pre-Law Option) programme at The University of Texas at Arlington study many of the most fundamental questions of our existence and how to think more effectively about them. Questions such as what science is, what the role of the state should be, whether God exists, and how to live an ethical life are just a small sample of the questions that could be explored in philosophy courses.

Through exploring the history of ideas and the structures of good argumentation philosophy majors develop the highest reading, writing, and critical thinking skills of any major. Students are required to take introduction to philosophy, logic, and a course on philosophical writing. Besides those courses, students have a wide variety of options so that they can study the areas of philosophy they find most fascinating.
