Welcome to the Department of Philosophy at Penn State
The Department of Philosophy has been a bedrock of the Penn State community for more than one hundred years. Students come to us to delve into philosophical theory, explore its historical and cultural impact, and tackle today’s pressing social issues. We are also committed to preparing and diversifying the next generation of philosophy scholars, solidifying our enduring legacy in the discipline.
