The arguments that arise in philosophy courses are diverse, addressing issues in ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, religion, and other academic disciplines. Oftentimes, courses will focus on philosophers of great historical importance who have presented persuasive arguments on difficult issues. The courses are also a creative enterprise, as members of the class will produce their own arguments for consideration by the group.

Regular course offerings include PHIL 1300 (Thinking Critically), which emphasizes critiquing arguments; PHIL 1500 (Introduction to Philosophy), which highlights the work of historically important philosophers; PHIL 2000 (Comparative Religion), which emphasizes the history and ideas of the religions of the world; PHIL 2600 (Logic), which focuses on how to build logically correct arguments; and PHIL 2700 (Ethics), which emphasizes ethical or moral theory.
