The Philosophy Department at UB has a faculty with expertise across broad areas of the discipline. We have a large PhD program, and we also offer an MA with several specialized concentration options. Undergraduates may pursue either a major or a minor, and joint or double majors with other disciplines are also encouraged.
The Department has cross-disciplinary ties with other units of the University, including the Romanell Center for Clinical Ethics and the Philosophy of Medicine, and the UB Departments of Biomedical Informatics, Computer Science, and Geography. The Department also hosts the National Center for Ontological Research.
Our faculty and affiliate faculty are active in UB's School of Law, Center for Cognitive Science, Confucius Institute, and, the Humanities Institute.
