Political Philosophy B.A.

Syracuse University

Tackle some of our time’s most pressing challenges, focusing on the fundamental nature of government, political authority, freedom and law. For example, consider how societies can and should function. Use the resources of both the Department of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Political Science in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs through this interdisciplinary program. Tap into faculty expertise on topics like race, capitalism, terrorism, freedom, equality and rights in the history of political thought, modern politics and ethics. Learn from visiting scholars who have discussed such topics as human cloning, the ethics of war, free speech and how the ultra-rich avoid taxes and why this matters for democracy. Conduct research and submit your work to undergraduate journals and conferences.
