Undergraduate Program

The Philosophy Department at the University of Texas at Austin cultivates undergraduates by developing their cognitive skills in learning to think in an organized way about confusing and controversial questions. Students should expect to gain the ability to think logically, analyze and solve problems, assess proposed solutions, and the keen ability to write and speak clearly. Such transferable skills aid in the successes of these future professionals and scholars carrying on the tradition of our signature motto "What starts here changes the world".

The Philosophy Department is home to the exceptional philosophy journal Ex Nihilo. This student-run journal strives to create a space for students to develop their passion for philosophy and become better writers.

The Bouwsma Undergraduate Advising Center

Located in WAG 313, students can go there for advising, to meet and study with friends, and/or find information about UT resources.
