哲学教学基本上依赖于学生积极参与的讨论。因此，在任何可能的情况下，班级的规模都会受到限制，以允许学生和教师之间的持续交流。提供的某些课程是所有学生普遍感兴趣的。其他课程则旨在探讨艺术或科学等特定学科和特殊学科中出现的问题。应向本科生顾问咨询有关最适合特定学生特殊需要的课程的建议。课程设置也针对那些打算毕业后就读某些专业学校（例如法律）或从事哲学研究生工作的哲学专业的学生。
Instruction in philosophy relies essentially upon discussion in which students are active participants. Wherever possible, therefore, classes are limited in size in order to permit sustained interchanges between students and instructor.<br><br>Some of the courses offered are of general interest to all students. Others are designed to explore issues that arise in selected and special disciplines such as art or science. The undergraduate advisor should be consulted for advice about courses best suited to the specialized needs of particular students.<br><br>The program of course offerings is also designed for those Philosophy majors whose intention may be either to enter some professional school upon graduation (e.g., law) or to engage in graduate work in philosophy.
