The philosophy program at EKU offers a B.A. in Philosophy, and distinct minors in Philosophy or Applied Ethics. (Degree requirements are listed in the University Catalog.)

The Philosophy and Religion faculty regularly teach courses that contribute to other programs at EKU, including: Honors, Women and Gender Studies, African-American Studies,  Animal Studies, and the Environmental Sustainability and Stewardship minor.

The faculty are strongly committed to preparing students across the many disciplines at EKU to think and write critically about fundamental questions concerning reality, knowledge, and values. We also seek to foster appreciation of the history of philosophical ideas and religious worldviews and practices, and to connect philosophical and religious theory with contemporary ethical and social issues. Everyone asks philosophical and religious questions at one time or another. The faculty look forward to engaging with students in their quests for knowledge and understanding.
