 ► CATALOG OF ALL PHILOSOPHY COURSES AT CSUN ◄

The Philosophy Department is proud to offer a broad range of courses, from Ancient Philosophy to Sexual Ethics, Phenomenology to Chinese Philosophy, and much more. Given the research specializations of our faculty, the Department has especially strong course offerings in political philosophy, philosophy of science, and the history of philosophy.

The Philosophy Major and Minor include required historical and topical courses, but afford students a large degree of freedom to explore the field. Interested students have the option to focus their study by following one of three paths —the Social Justice and Pre-Law Path, the Health and Sciences Path, or the History of Philosophy Path. As a cluster of courses linked by a general theme, each path allows students to develop their philosophical interests. Students are not required to choose a path to complete the major or minor, and additional courses outside each path may be required. In the lists below, the notation (REQ) indicates that a path course also fulfills a requirement for the major.

If you have any questions about philosophy course options or degree programs, we encourage you to talk to the Department’s Associate Chair, Dr. Robin Muller.
