Research & Initiatives
Research Centers
The Philosophy Department houses three Centers, each of which offers specialized options for study within the major:
Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life
The primary aim of the Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life is to foster a healthy and fruitful relationship between UCCS and the surrounding community as it concerns religious issues and public life.
Classics at UCCS
The field of Classics extends through all aspects of Greek and Roman culture from antiquity through the medieval period. The Classics Minor at UCCS is an interdisciplinary program focusing on the study of art, culture, history, literature, philosophy, religion, theatre, and women’s studies in conjunction with language training in Greek and Latin. The program aims to integrate these into a larger picture of Greco-Roman culture and, from this perspective, to deepen our understanding of our own.
Center for Legal Studies
The Center for Legal Studies coordinates the pre-law minor and organizes programs and events for students considering a legal career.
The Philosophy Department offers options in areas of philosophy that focus on particular fields of study, including:
- Religion & Classics
- Justice & Global Society
- Cognition
- Science
- Phenomenology
- Linguistics
- Culture & Aesthetics
Students completing the requirements in any of the options will receive a certificate from the department recognizing their competence in a particular area.
To qualify for an option, the student must fulfill the requirements for the major including at least 30 hours of coursework, 9 hours of which must be in the option area.
