The Department of Philosophy at Valdosta State University

Thanks for your visit to our Philosophy Department. We have included information for your convenience, including our Electronic Brochure, and a listing of our current course offerings, which includes sample syllabi, links to online classes and course materials.

And for those who wonder about what Philosophy is, and what a major in Philosophy prepares one to do, check out this Undergraduate Guide to Philosophy. It is quite informative. In order to share our unit's goals, learning outcomes and assessment of effectiveness, we have included this information for prospective philosophy majors.

Here are our programs and their requirements, along with semester course descriptions, including Philosophy, Professional and Applied Ethics, and Religious Studies.

The new Major in Philosophy was thoughtfully designed, and is a combination of the four models of the Philosophy Major, as developed by the American Philosophical Association.

Included here is a copy of our department's Policies and Procedures Manual.
