Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Philosophy] From Sweet Briar College

We involve students in the process of exploring and developing philosophical ideas through intense interaction with the faculty, other students, and the writings of philosophers widely acknowledged to be profound, provocative or both.

Philosophical study at Sweet Briar is grounded in Western intellectual tradition. Emphasis is placed on the cultivation of a philosophical attitude and the development of the art of conceptual analysis and synthesis. We offer five courses in the history of philosophy, three in the history of political thought, and courses on topics such as logic, science, ethics, literature and the arts.
