Undergraduate Program
The Philosophy Department at the University of Texas at Austin cultivates undergraduates by developing their cognitive skills in learning to think in a deliberate, organized way about confusing and controversial questions. Students should expect to gain a host of abilities: to think logically, analyze and solve problems, assess proposed solutions, fashion new alternatives, and write and speak clearly. Such transferable skills aid in the successes of these future professionals and scholars carrying on the tradition reflected in our signature motto "What starts here changes the world".
The Philosophy Department is home to a world-class faculty. It also boasts Ex Nihilo, an exceptional student-run journal that strives to create a space for undergraduates to develop their passion for philosophy and become better writers and thinkers.
